Felix Auger-Aliassime on his love story with his now wife Nina, which began at Miami 2019, for @voguemagazine:
“When I couldn’t shake the thought of her, I felt strongly compelled to meet her before leaving the city if I wanted to leave with no regrets. I decided to send her a message asking if we could go for a dinner during the tournament and was quite relieved when she was open to the idea.
Without sounding cliche, it was truly love at first sight. After two hours, I told her this was the start of a long and beautiful future together, and within days, we both knew that we wanted to marry. I think that sums up our relationship quite well: never a sliver of doubt, instant comfortability, a young and innocent honesty, and love that never stopped growing from the moment we laid eyes on each other.
[Fast forward to the proposal... Grab the tissues]
While relaxing outside on our balcony together [in November 2024 during a vacation to the Seychelles], I asked her to grab my notebook from inside our room. What was supposed to be my notebook was actually a letter from me to her. A letter that dated back to May 5, 2019, written a month and a half after our very first meeting. It was a letter that I had kept through all of the years to one day show her just how confident I was that we’d still be together years later.”
[The wedding took place on September 20, 2025 in Marrakech, Morocco - Nina's father's origin country]
It’s been 15 months since the Flour Massacre, so named because of the shock that the world had that Israel would massacre Palestinians waiting for food. Now this atrocity is happening daily and it’s become just another headline.
In Fahrenheit 451, the abolition of reading began with tech companies simplifying books into summaries that you could read in five minutes. Because people no longer engaged with the texts, they forgot how to think. Then came the book-burnings.
I truly can’t believe we have been watching Palestinians be killed for almost 2 years. Israel is just being allowed to commit a genocide right before us.
Having this level of victim complex when he benefited from the most fraudulent decision in motorsports history and had a steward calling him “the next white hope” oh my god 💀💀💀💀
