Camila Giorgi ties the knot and reveals she’s expecting her first child

Two years after hanging up her racquets, Camila Giorgi has plenty to celebrate.

The retired Italian player took to social media this week to share two major life updates: she’s just gotten married and is currently expecting a baby with former tennis pro Andreas Ignacio Pasutt.

“From here to eternity,” Giorgi wrote alongside Thursday’s date, Feb. 26. She shared a black-and-white photo from the civil ceremony in Buenos Aires, and snaps showing Giorgi and the Argentine player-turned-coach displaying their rings and a “little red booklet,” a signature of weddings in Argentina.

The wedding took place two days after Giorgi shared a video of her ultrasound on social media to confirm news of her pregnancy. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, she does not yet know the baby’s gender but expects to give birth in Italy.

Born in Italy to an Argentine family, Giorgi represented Italy throughout her career. She was known for her aggressive style and explosive groundstrokes generated by her small frame (5’6”), peaking at a career-high world No. 26 in 2018.

She also famously wore makeup on court and competed in tennis kits custom-designed and made by her mother, fashion designer Claudia Giorgi, which, combined with her mercurial personality, quickly turned her into a fan favorite.

Giorgi won four singles titles during her career, highlighted by the biggest trophy of her career at the WTA 1000 event in Montreal in 2021. Her most recent title came in 2023 in Mérida.

She quietly retired from tennis in May 2024, without an emotional farewell or social media post. Her name simply appeared on the International Tennis Integrity Agency’s list of retired players, triggering a wave of speculation before Giorgi confirmed to the press that she was indeed calling time on her career.

Since retiring, Giorgi has split her time between Italy and Argentina and has pursued modeling while dabbling in broadcast work. She made her on-camera debut at the Argentina Open last year, flexing her language skills by interviewing players in Spanish, Italian and English throughout the event.

Following the baby news, fans on social media asked the 34-year-old if she intended to make a comeback to tennis after giving birth, as other WTA players have previously done.

Giorgi’s response? “Never say never.”
