Meet Cameron Norrie’s girlfriend Louise Jacobi – not Emma Raducanu: despite speculation, the British Wimbledon quarter-finalist has been dating the Chicago-born interior designer since 2019
The tennis star is the third British man in the last 50 years to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals more than once – the other 2 were Tim Henman and Andy Murray – but who’s his partner, Louise Jacobi?
Cameron Norrie, 29, has advanced to the Wimbledon quarter-finals after a challenging five-set victory over Chilean qualifier Nicolás Jarry. It marks Norrie’s second time reaching the Wimbledon quarter-finals, making him only the third British man in the last 50 years to achieve the feat more than once – the other two being Tim Henman and Andy Murray, according to The Independent.
However, when a journalist asked a left-field question about his love life at a press conference on July 6, attention momentarily turned away from his sporting achievements. “Apart from everyone here loving tennis, some of the gossip has been about who Emma Raducanu is dating,” the reporter said. “Can I ask if you’re dating her? Can we get to the bottom of this please?”
“Sorry?” Norrie replied, confused. “I’m not, no. You can ask her, though. You can ask her.” What perhaps made the question even more inappropriate was the fact that Norrie has a long-term girlfriend, Louise Jacobi – a talented fashion designer and entrepreneur who’s been by his side since 2019, per Hello! Magazine.
Here is everything you need to know about the tennis ace’s glamorous girlfriend.
How did Cameron Norrie meet Louise Jacobi?
Norrie and Jacobi met in a New York City bar in 2019 through a mutual friend, per Hello! They enjoyed their first date when Norrie invited her to Vienna to watch him play.
“When he asked me, I thought, ‘I guess this guy doesn’t live a normal life, and it’s not like I can meet [him] down the street and go to dinner together,’” she said. “So I went on this trip and was only supposed to be in Vienna for five days, and things just went really well.”
Coincidentally, Jacobi had just been laid off at the time, which allowed them to build the foundation of their relationship before Covid-19 hit.
Last October, the couple returned to the city where they had their first date. “Vienna was the first tennis tournament I ever went to,” Jacobi shared in a sweet Instagram post. “Who would have thought I’d still be coming here five years later? Some photos over the years with Cam in this amazing city.”
