Coco Gauff recently reacted to her boyfriend Jalen Sera’s celebration of her launching a new smoothie flavor in collaboration with Naked Smoothies. The World No. 3 confirmed her relationship with Sera, an Atlanta-based musician, in June 2025, revealing that they had been dating for two years.
Earlier this year, the American star was named the ‘Naked Chief Smoothie Officer’ by the American juice and smoothie brand.
How Did Coco Gauff React to Her Boyfriend Jalen Sera Celebrating Her Naked Smoothie Collaboration?
Through her partnership with Naked Smoothie, Gauff introduced her first signature flavor — the ‘Coco Gauff’s Protein Pineapple Orange Smoothie.’ This drink is inspired by her favorite fruits and is made with plant-based protein, pineapple and orange juices, coconut water, and much more.
Recently, during the ongoing US Open Fan Week, Naked Smoothies hosted ‘Coco’s Corner Store,’ a bodega-inspired pop-up that offered the World No. 3’s newly launched smoothie flavor.
The two-time Grand Slam champion’s boyfriend, Sera, visited the pop-up and shared a picture on social media, mentioning that Gauff has “cooked” with her Naked Smoothies collaboration.
“@cocogauff X @nakedsmoothie cooked! Thank you CSO,” Sera captioned his Instagram story.
In response to Sera’s post, Gauff replied with an emoji.
“😛,” Gauff posted.
On the tennis side of things, Gauff most recently competed at the 2025 Cincinnati Open, where she was seeded second. She began her campaign in the second round after receiving a first-round bye and advanced to the quarterfinals before losing to eventual runner-up Jasmine Paolini.
What Did Gauff Say About Having Her Own Signature Smoothie Flavor?
In an interview with Sports Illustrated’s Serve On SI, Gauff shared her thoughts on having her own smoothie flavor. The American mentioned that she doesn’t know of any other athlete who has their own smoothie flavor, making her collaboration with Naked Smoothies feel “exciting,” “super cool,” and “new and unique.”
“It’s very exciting. I don’t know how many athletes have done it, but it’s super cool to step into this and do something new and unique. So it’s really cool to partner with someone who kind of wanted to do something that was really authentic to me and things that I already do. So that was cool,” Gauff said.
The World No. 3 also expressed her hope that people will enjoy the new flavor she has launched with the smoothie brand.
“I love it and I hope other people will like it. I’m excited to share it at US Open. I’m super excited to give fans the chance to taste it, and hopefully they like it. But yeah, I’m really, really excited. I got to taste a lot of different smoothies and a lot of taste testing and incorporate flavors that I like, so I’m really excited,” she added.
Looking ahead, Gauff will compete at the 2025 US Open, which will take place from Aug. 24 to Sept. 7 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City.
Last year, Gauff triumphed over Varvara Gracheva, Tatjana Maria, and Elina Svitolina before losing to compatriot Emma Navarro in the fourth round. Her best result at the New York Major came in 2023 when she defeated Aryna Sabalenka in the final to win her first Grand Slam title.
