“We’re getting married”: Nelly Korda shares tender new engagement moments with fiancé in the water

Nelly Korda recently delighted fans by revealing never-before-seen photos from her engagement photoshoot, offering a more intimate glimpse into the special moment she shared with her fiancé. The former world No. 1 announced her engagement on social media a few weeks ago, and she has now followed it up with fresh memories from the shoot.
On December 11, Korda reposted content from photographer Kasey Powell on her Instagram Story. The images showed the couple standing in the water during a beach shoot in Sarasota, Florida, including a heartfelt moment where Korda is seen kissing her fiancé as they embrace.
Powell also opened up about how the shoot unfolded, explaining that the original plan was disrupted by bad weather. A powerful coastal storm hit the beach just as they arrived for the second part of the session, preventing them from capturing the water shots. The team decided to reschedule a few days later, hoping for clearer skies — a move that ultimately paid off.
Korda’s earlier engagement announcement featured coordinated outfits and a serene beach setting, which took fans by surprise. Later, she explained why she chose to share the milestone publicly despite being known for keeping her personal life private.
Speaking during a press conference ahead of the 2025 Grant Thornton Invitational at Tibúron Golf Club, the two-time major champion praised Powell for perfectly capturing her vision. She described the shoot as fun and meaningful, adding that sharing the photos felt like a joyful way to let fans see the next chapter of her life.
Although Korda generally stays out of the spotlight off the course, the engagement photos quickly caught widespread attention online. Fellow golfers including Lexi Thompson, Jeeno Thitikul, Morgan Pressel, Rose Zhang, and Yani Tseng were among those who congratulated her in the comments.
