Halep married Romanian businessman Toni Iuruc in a civil ceremony in her hometown of Constanta in September. The ceremony was attended by family and close friends, including former Romanian player Ilie Nastase.
During the wedding, the former World No. 1 looked ethereal in an intricately embroidered beige gown. For the reception party later that evening, she stole the spotlight in a white strapless gown.
Halep revealed that she bought her dresses from a store in Italy. She admitted that she doesn’t pay much attention to fashion trends and chose whatever suited her style.
When asked if she had her dresses designed, Halep revealed that she simply bought them off the rack.
How Simona Halep’s draw might unfold at the 2022 Australian Open
The 2018 Australian Open finalist will begin her campaign at Melboure Park on Tuesday against Poland’s Magdalena Frech. This will be the second meeting between the two, with Halep having won their previous encounter in Prague in 2020.
In the second round, the Romanian could either face Brazil’s Beatriz Haddad Maia or American qualifier Katie Volynets. A third-round matchup with 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu could also be on the cards.
A fourth-round meeting with Garbine Muguruza could await Halep. She has never beaten the Spaniard on a hardcourt.
If the Romanian manages to reach the quarterfinals, she might come up against sixth seed Anett Kontaveit. Halep is projected to face second seed Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals before a potential showdown with top seed Ashleigh Barty in the title match.
