Ash Barty may have walked away from tennis at the top of her game, but she’s clearly not done with surprise announcements—and this time, it’s got nothing to do with backhands or trophies. The former World No. 1 has been spotted living her best offline life, but eagle-eyed fans and a few sneaky insiders think she’s been quietly cooking up something major behind the scenes.
We’re talking about a possible career pivot, a surprise baby update, or (gasp) a full-blown media empire in the works. Yep—while Barty has kept things classy and low-key, her latest public appearances, cryptic interviews, and offhand mentions of “exciting things ahead” have everyone asking: what’s she hiding?
A recent podcast appearance had her casually mention “a new role I’m absolutely loving”—with zero context, of course. Then came the baby photos. Then a surprise brand partnership. Then that rumour about a memoir and coaching gig. Ash, girl, what are you not doing?
Her fans, lovingly obsessed, are digging into every post like it’s a Wimbledon final. “Is she launching a wellness brand?” “Is she secretly training juniors?” “Is she pregnant again?” Spoiler: no one knows. But that’s half the fun.
Whatever it is, Ash Barty remains the queen of doing things her way—quietly, gracefully, and always with a mic-drop moment lurking just beneath the surface.
Stay tuned. The next chapter of Barty might just be her boldest yet.
