BANGKOK - Thailand’s tennis hero Paradorn Srichaphan is engaged to a former Miss Universe and the couple are expected to tie the knot in Bangkok later this year, reports said on Saturday.
Paradorn, 28, and Natalie Glebova, a 25-year-old Canadian beauty, have “developed a special relationship” and they will announce their engagement at a news conference in Bangkok on Tuesday, the English-daily Nation said.
The couple will tie the knot by the end of this year in “one of the most celebrated weddings of 2007,” the paper said, while the Thai-language Daily News said the wedding would likely take place in November.
Paradorn, the former world number nine, and Glebova were first seen together last year when she kissed him as a reward for beating Britain’s Tim Henman in the quarter-finals of the Thailand Open, the Nation said.
Glebova, who won the 2005 Miss Universe title in the pageant held in Thailand, is also popular here. She has visited a temple-turned-hospice for AIDS patients and has worked as a “brand ambassador” for the kingdom’s Singha beer.
Paradorn was long Asia’s top-rated men’s player before sliding out of the world’s top 50 for the first time in five years in 2006. He has also become a staple of gossip magazines as he used to date Thailand’s pop diva Tata Young.
