Matteo Berrettini Finds Love with Professional Dancer Vanessa Bellini

Italian tennis player Matteo Berrettini has found romance with Vanessa Bellini, a professional hip hop dancer from northern Italy. The pair made their relationship public via Instagram in October, and have since been spotted celebrating milestones together. Bellini shared a photograph of them marking Berrettini's 30th birthday in April.

Who Is Vanessa Bellini?

Bellini is a professional hip hop dancer trained at the Academy of Excellence in Lucca, where she continues to work as an instructor. The 2022 competitor on the Italian talent programme Amici di Maria De Filippi gained industry recognition after her television appearance, which led to positions with multiple dance ensembles across the country.

Her career has included high-profile performances at the Sanremo music festival, where she appeared as part of the supporting dance cast alongside artists including The Kolors, Rose Villain, and Elodie. She also secured a role in the closing ceremony production for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Originally from the western Milan region, Bellini represents Italy's competitive dance scene.

How They Met

The romance began in June 2025 at a concert in Turin, where Bellini was performing as a dancer for an Italian rapper on his summer tour. Berrettini attended the show, and according to Bellini's sister Jessica, the connection was immediate. "It all started there, with an exchange of glances," Jessica told the magazine DiPiùTv. She added that witnessing one of tennis's strongest players enter their household was surreal, expressing hope that Berrettini would prove equally serious in his commitment to her sister.

Despite her boyfriend's recent involvement in the Roland Garros tournament and his pursuit of a maiden Grand Slam title, Bellini has not yet attended one of his professional tennis matches. The couple maintains a low profile while continuing to support each other's careers.
