Coco Gauff offered her followers a warm, personal window into her off-season by sharing a collection of photos that highlighted everything from art outings to quiet sunsets. The 21-year-old star also revealed a set of matching keyrings featuring pictures of herself and her boyfriend, Jalen Sera, giving supporters a rare glimpse into the more intimate side of her life away from the court.
A Closer Look at Coco Gauff and Jalen Sera’s Time Together This Off-Season
Gauff recently wrapped up her 2024 campaign after her run at the WTA Finals came to an early end. Entering the event as the third seed, she landed in the Stefanie Graf Group with Aryna Sabalenka, Jessica Pegula, and Jasmine Paolini. Her path grew tougher after she dropped her opening match to Pegula in three sets, which immediately placed pressure on the rest of her group play.
She stayed alive with a straight-sets victory over Paolini, but Sabalenka closed the door on her semifinal hopes by defeating her in their final group matchup. With her season officially done, Gauff has turned her attention toward rest, recovery, and plans for 2026, choosing to spend her off weeks grounding herself through quieter routines and personal time.
That reset has included reconnecting with Sera, a musician and aspiring actor from Atlanta, Georgia. The two have known each other since 2023, and their bond has deepened over the past couple of years. Gauff publicly acknowledged their relationship earlier this year, shortly after celebrating their second anniversary in the afterglow of her French Open triumph.
The off-season has given Gauff room to settle into a slower rhythm. In her recent carousel of photos, she showcased a collection of vinyl records from the artists she has been listening to, a matching keyring charm featuring Sera, and moments from her visit to the Jeffrey Deitch Gallery in Los Angeles.
She shared a mirror selfie as she prepared for the outing, followed by glimpses of various art pieces displayed at the gallery. The photo dump was wrapped with a pair of calming sunset shots. Gauff posted the collection of images on Instagram with the caption, “Off Szn.”
