The persistent curiosity around Anisimova's romantic life traces back to mid-2020, when she went public with Australian athlete and television personality Tyler Roos. Roos brought his own dose of celebrity pedigree to the table. His father, Paul Roos, is an iconic figure in Australian rules football who played 356 senior games and coached the Sydney Swans to a historic premiership in 2005. Tyler himself stepped into the media spotlight as a contestant on season four of The Amazing Race Australia.
For nearly two years, the couple offered regular glimpses into their relationship. Roos frequently appeared on Anisimova's Instagram feed during tour downtime, sharing photos from off-season getaways in Florida and Melbourne. Fans applauded the cross-sport connection, viewing Roos as a steadying presence during a turbulent period in Anisimova's young career.
That visibility vanished by late 2022. Without a formal public statement, shared photos disappeared from both of their verified profiles, and unfollows followed on Instagram. By the time Anisimova announced her indefinite leave from professional tennis in May 2023, the relationship had concluded quietly, away from the glare of tabloid headlines.
