Coco Gauff’s Instagram may be all smiles and sunsets, but fans aren’t fooled—not one bit. The tennis superstar recently shared snaps from a tropical family getaway, full of beach views, matching outfits with her mom, and coconut drinks. But buried in the background of those seemingly wholesome vacation pics? One very suspicious detail that has fans spiraling into full detective mode.
The clue? A mystery man’s leg—yep, just a leg—barely visible in a poolside group shot. But this isn’t just any leg. Fans noticed a distinct tattoo and some familiar sneakers that don’t belong to anyone in the known Gauff circle. “Who’s the guy behind the lounge chair?! That’s not Uncle Earl!” one user commented. Another chimed in, “Coco, blink twice if you’ve got a secret boo.”
And it doesn’t stop there. In a boomerang video of the family dining al fresco, a muffled male voice is heard off camera—deep, flirty, and definitely not Dad. Coco quickly panned away, of course, but the damage was done. “We hear him, Coco. The internet hears EVERYTHING,” said one cheeky fan.
So who is this elusive vacation plus-one? A boyfriend? A close “friend”? A future Mr. Gauff? Coco’s not saying. When asked in a post-trip interview if she brought “anyone special,” she laughed and simply replied, “Just family… and a good time.”
