Nelly Korda’s Shocking Reason for Wanting to Get Married at This Age Has Fans Reacting — Here’s Her “Why” and Exact Age
Nelly Korda has made headlines once again — but this time, it’s not for her tennis game. The world No. 1 recently opened up about a personal decision that has fans buzzing: when she plans to get married, and the very specific reason behind it.
In a recent candid conversation during a lifestyle podcast interview, Korda revealed that she has her sights set on getting married at the age of 28. While that might seem like a typical milestone to some, it’s her explanation that’s leaving fans surprised — and impressed.
“I’ve always had this internal clock, not because of pressure, but because I see 28 as the perfect balance,” Korda said. “It’s old enough to know yourself, young enough to grow with someone, and just the right time where I can hopefully enjoy both my career and personal life.”
The statement immediately sparked reactions online. Some fans were stunned by her level of clarity and intention, especially in a world where many athletes delay major life decisions for the sake of career focus.
“What 25-year-old athlete is thinking this clearly about her future?” one fan tweeted. “She’s got more vision off the court than most people have in their entire lives.”
Others praised her maturity and willingness to talk about subjects like marriage and timing — topics often seen as off-limits for young public figures. Korda, however, seemed unfazed by public opinion.
“I’m not saying 28 is magical for everyone,” she clarified. “But for me, it feels like the age where things could align. I don’t want to rush anything, but I also don’t want to keep pushing the idea of building a personal life to the end of my career.”
Despite being at the peak of her professional journey, Korda’s comments show she’s thinking far beyond titles and trophies. Her fans, while surprised, are applauding her for being honest, grounded, and intentional.
Whether or not she sticks to her “age 28” plan, one thing is clear: Nelly Korda knows exactly who she is — and what she wants from life, on and off the court.
