Clara Tauson's boyfriend is Kasper Elsvad, a former Danish tennis player born in 1998. She confirmed the relationship in August 2024, and since September 2024 he has also been her coach. There are no reports of an engagement or a wedding, and there is no credible information about a pregnancy – we go through the facts below.
Clara Tauson boyfriend: Kasper Elsvad
The couple became public in the summer of 2024. Tauson first said she had a boyfriend, and ahead of the 2024 US Open she named him in the Danish magazine Se og Hør. The same month Kasper Elsvad appeared on her Instagram. Three weeks later TV 2 confirmed the relationship in a report that he would be coaching her.
When they met or started dating has not been reported by her or by established media, so we have no answer to that either.
Speaking to Se og Hør in 2024, she said that he gives her a bit of calm away from the court. In December 2025 she told TV 2 that she tells her friends she is "very, very lucky".
Who is Kasper Elsvad?
Kasper Elsvad was born in 1998 and is a former tennis player himself. He won the Danish under-18 title in 2015 for KB – the club Tauson has represented since 2018. According to TV 2, he had little coaching experience when he took over as her coach. Today he is listed as her coach on her official WTA profile.
Boyfriend and coach at the same time
Elsvad was first registered as her coach at the Thailand Open in Hua Hin in September 2024, replacing Lars Christensen, Holger Rune's long-time coach, who had worked with her since November 2023. What she and the press have discussed:
- Calm and trust: she has said herself that he gives her calm away from the court. Their first full season together, 2025, was her best: the Auckland title, the Dubai final, the Montreal semifinal and world No. 12.
- A small team: in December 2025 she told TV 2 that the team consisted of Elsvad alone, with a plan to try a fitness coach for parts of 2026. Whether that happened, we have not found.
- Experience: TV 2 pointed out his limited coaching experience at the start. In a January 2026 interview with Eurosport he said, according to the outlet, that he does not discuss tennis with others and trusts himself technically and tactically.
The results show both sides. In 2025 she went 36–22, won Auckland – her first title in more than three years – beat world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka on the way to the Dubai final and reached the fourth round at Wimbledon. In 2026 she went 16–23, with back problems and finally a calf injury. The full story is on the Clara Tauson coach page.
Is Clara Tauson pregnant?
No. There is no credible information that Clara Tauson is pregnant. No established outlet – DR, TV 2, B.T., Ekstra Bladet, Se og Hør, Billed-Bladet or the WTA – has reported a pregnancy.
What is documented is her tennis calendar. She played WTA events until 12 October 2026, when she retired in round 1 in Wuhan with a calf injury, and two days later she announced that her season was over because of injuries. Clara Tauson ended her 2026 season on 14 October after a calf injury in Wuhan. According to her own statement, she is spending the rest of the year on rehabilitation and fitness training.
