Mexican actress Eiza González is making headlines not just for her upcoming film projects, but for her very public commitment to her partner, Bulgarian tennis star Grigor Dimitrov. At a recent red carpet event for her new movie, González playfully embraced the label of a proud WAG (wives and girlfriends of athletes), making it clear that she intends to be a constant presence in Dimitrov's demanding tennis calendar.
“I’m a proud WAG,” González said with a laugh, confirming that she will travel to Paris to support Dimitrov during the clay court season and beyond. The actress, known for her roles in Baby Driver and Godzilla vs. Kong, emphasized that her partner’s discipline and dedication inspire her to be there, no matter how exhausting her own schedule gets.
Balancing stardom and support
Juggling a high-profile romance with a thriving career is no easy feat, but González seems to handle it with grace. After the premiere of her latest film, directed by Boots Riley, she confirmed she would fly to Europe to watch Dimitrov compete in key tournaments, including the clay season and Wimbledon. For González, being present during these milestones is a priority, and she sees her role as more than just a spectator.
“I want to be there for him, through the wins and the losses,” she said. “His commitment to his craft is something I deeply admire, and I want to support that in any way I can.”
This isn’t just a fleeting gesture. González has been spotted at several of Dimitrov’s matches, cheering from the stands, and the couple’s chemistry is evident in their social media posts. Their relationship, which became public earlier this year, has already captured the attention of fans and media alike, with many praising the actress for her unwavering support.
A sisterhood on set
Beyond the tennis courts, González also opened up about the profound connections she formed while filming her latest project. The movie, which features a predominantly female cast, became a space for candid conversations about the challenges of the industry, personal insecurities, and the shared experiences of womanhood.
“We talked about everything—our fears, our dreams, motherhood, the things we want to do next,” González shared. “There was one moment when we listened to a co-star’s baby’s heartbeat during her pregnancy. It was so intimate and beautiful.”
For González, this sense of camaraderie extended beyond the set, creating a support network that she says has been invaluable. “It’s rare to find that kind of sisterhood, especially in Hollywood. I feel incredibly lucky to have these women in my life.”
This blend of personal and professional fulfillment seems to be the key to González’s current happiness. Whether she’s on a film set or in the stands at a tennis match, she approaches each role with the same passion and dedication.
As she prepares for the next chapter, both in her career and her relationship, González remains grounded. “I’m just taking it one day at a time,” she said. “But I know that with Grigor by my side, and with the support of the amazing women I’ve met, I can handle whatever comes my way.”
For fans of the actress, this new chapter is an exciting one. And for those who follow tennis, having González in the stands adds a touch of glamour to the tour. But for González herself, it’s simply about being there for the person she loves.
“I’m not just a WAG,” she said with a smile. “I’m his biggest fan.”
