Well, well, well—looks like Coco Gauff isn’t the only Gauff making headlines! This time, it’s her younger brother who’s stirred the pot with a surprise social media post that’s left fans gasping, gossiping, and doing some serious digital sleuthing. What started as a harmless “family throwback” on his Instagram story quickly turned into a goldmine of clues about Coco’s off-court life—and possibly her love life, too.
The now-deleted post showed a group selfie from what looked like a recent Gauff family BBQ. Harmless? Not quite. Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice one unfamiliar face squeezed into the frame—a tall, athletic guy with his arm very casually draped behind Coco. And the caption? “Family & plus ones.” EXCUSE US?! Since when is Coco bringing a plus one?!
It didn’t take long for the internet to erupt. “WHO IS HE?! Zoom, crop, enhance—CSI-style!” one fan tweeted. Others scrambled to compare tattoos, watches, and even fingernails to potential suspects from Coco’s past courtside sightings. One theory? He’s a low-key college athlete from Florida who’s been seen liking her posts since 2023.
Even more telling? Coco’s brother followed up the chaos with a cryptic meme that read:
“Oops. Did I say too much?”
Oh yes, yes you did.
Coco, of course, has remained her cool, composed self, refusing to confirm or deny anything—though she did throw a side-eye emoji on her story the next morning.
In the battle of privacy vs. internet obsession, Coco might be losing a little ground… thanks to her brother’s not-so-subtle “family moment.”
