In an era where young stars like Coco Gauff, Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek should dominate, a name out of nowhere has come out and is ruling the WTA scene at the moment. Danielle Collins, the 30-year-old tennis superstar, who is playing in her last year as a professional athlete is in the form of her life and does not seem to stop anytime soon. But away from all the glitz and glory that shines bright on the court, there is her love life that has stayed away from the light.

That being said, the one question that surrounds everyone’s mind is who is her boyfriend and what does he do? As it seems, she has kept a low-key love life and is looking to start her new phase of life once her professional career is done. Let’s now look at who her boyfriend is!

Danielle Collins’ boyfriend is a former college football player who’s now the VP of a tech initiative

As it stands, Danielle Collins is currently dating Bryan Kipp, a former college player. Playing at the WTA Charleston Open, the American superstar, who is in the form of her life talked about the love life and how it all started with Kipp. In an interview dated April 6th 2024, she admitted that he was there with her during the event supporting her.

She opened up about her dating life while suggesting that the two met back at Wimbledon. Their first-ever meeting came at a coffee shop, quite unusual for a first-time meeting, right? But that’s how it’s been for the 30-year-old player. Talking about Kipp, he was once a college-level football player who used to play as a defensive lineman for the Columbia Lions. Not only this, during his time as a professional player, he managed to earn 7 varsity letters to his name.

Having completed his engineering from the University of Columbia back in 2011, he joined as a research associate in a firm. Since then, he has known no stopping. Having worked as a researcher for most of his life, is currently the VP of a tech brand called Revvity, a company which works diligently towards the future of a better mankind.

Opening about her relationship with Kipp, Collins candidly suggested that at the time she met, he did not know she was a tennis player (much like the Alexis Ohanian and the Serena Williams style). She further added that he is not much into tennis and loves to watch golf. Despite this, she’s hopeful that one day, the two will pair up and feature in a doubles match (at least that’s what Collins wants at the moment). But, to her surprise, she’s got the best partner that she’s been looking out for.

In multiple interviews, she has revealed her competitive side and suggested that she is very competitive both on and off the tennis courts. Interestingly, her partner is also the same as compared to her, showing his competitive side which could come up as a challenge for Collins though.

“Had a really busy work week. We have been going out for a while now and we met at a coffee shop in London so that was pretty exciting. I didn’t think I would meet someone at a coffee shop who would you know? He didn’t do anything about tennis. He didn’t know I was a Tennis player which was very nice and he was actually a bigger fan of golf. In the future, I am hoping that we will play like maybe the husband and wife doubles like the usta. I explained to him that this is a big thing in the Tennis world so hopefully that doesn’t tear us apart because he is very competitive,” said Collins in the interview.

Thus, Danielle Collins, who is sending shockwaves into the tennis world at the moment is also enjoying a great time off the tennis courts with her boyfriend Bryan Kipp. From sharing insights into their first meeting to how it’s been for the two, it seems like they’re enjoying their moments both on and off the courts. However, before Kipp, Danielle Collins was with a Grammy-winning artist Joe Vollen who made everyone dance to his rhythm.

After her previous relationship with fitness coach Thomas Couch ended, she was spotted showing affection for Joe Vollen, who was present in the player box during her matches. Joe Vollen is a fit model, a profession he joined in 2007, and has worked with quite a few big brands. Not only this, he also has a Grammy connection.

As per information from his LinkedIn account, he has partnered with well-known companies such as Ralph Lauren, Club Monaco, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, and others in his fit model career. Over the years, he has constantly worked as an active model, demonstrating his professional knowledge and versatility.

Vollen graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychological Brain Sciences from Johns Hopkins University in 2005. Since October 2008, the fit model has also performed in Mark James’ The 45 King as a guitarist. He has also played guitar for Grammy-winning DJ Mark James.

Vollen was in attendance during the Australian Open final in 2022, when Collins made her speech. But this wasn’t the first time they were spotted together. The pair were seen holding hands while carrying their luggage as they walked into the stadium at the 2021 Chicago Fall Tennis Classic.

Thus, Danielle Collins has a rich and illustrative dating history. Currently dating Kipp, she has also dated the likes of Vollen and her fitness coach. With everything turning to gold for her at the moment, she would be looking to make them even better. What are your views on this? Do let us know in the comments below!
