Who is Aleah?
Aleah is the long-time partner of Dan Evans, and the two reportedly met in 2017 in Winchcombe, where she was working at the time. Their relationship blossomed during a turbulent period in Evans’ life—he was banned from tennis for 12 months in 2017 due to a positive cocaine test. Aleah is said to have been a strong emotional support for him during that difficult time.
Although not much is known about her professional life or background, Aleah is often seen cheering Evans on from the stands—whether at Wimbledon, the Paris Olympics, the Barcelona Open, or the US Open. With her long brown hair and elegant style, she’s easily spotted among the crowd and has become a recognizable figure at his matches.
How Did Dan Meet Aleah?
Dan and Aleah met in 2017 when she was working in Winchcombe. Their relationship started during a very hard time in Dan’s life. That year, he was banned from tennis for 12 months due to a cocaine violation. Aleah stood by him and helped him rebuild his career and confidence.
They have been together ever since. Today, they live in Cheltenham, although Dan is originally from Birmingham. They like to keep their private life out of the spotlight. Dan rarely talks about their relationship in interviews.
A Strong Bond Off the Court
In an old interview, Dan mentioned that he enjoys the quiet life in Cheltenham. He and Aleah often visit a local coffee shop called The Coffee Dispensary. Even when Dan travels for tournaments, they try to find good coffee spots together.
“Aleah and I always look for a nice coffee place when I’m on tour,” he said.
Even though she avoids the limelight, Aleah has supported Dan at several top tournaments. These include the Paris Olympics, Barcelona Open, United Cup, and the US Open. She was also seen at Wimbledon 2021, cheering for Dan after a big win.
A Private Yet Supportive Partner
Aleah does not have any public social media and keeps her life away from the cameras. However, she is almost always seen sitting courtside during Dan’s matches, showing her quiet support. Her long brown hair and simple style have made her a familiar face to tennis fans.
In a recent press conference, Dan got emotional while speaking about his struggles over the past year.
“It’s been awful basically… it’s not the matches. It’s when you feel like you’ve let people down. That’s the tougher thing,” Dan said.
“You go home to your wife… you see the kids – not my kids – and they ask, ‘Did you win?’ You feel upset.”
His words showed just how much his family and Aleah mean to him.
