Nick Kyrgios recently directed a sharp comment toward Kysre Gondrezick, the former partner of Jaylen Brown. The Boston Celtics star and Gondrezick, known for her basketball career and modeling, revealed their relationship publicly in July 2024. However, by February 2025, the couple ended their romance, with Gondrezick later hinting briefly about the reasons behind their split.
On February 27, a parody account on X (previously Twitter) posted an image of Gondrezick in a revealing outfit alongside an inset picture of Brown. The caption suggested Brown had made a mistake by letting someone like Gondrezick leave his side.
Responding to the post, Nick Kyrgios, a former World No. 13 tennis player and 2022 Wimbledon finalist, shared his opinion. A lifelong Celtics fan since 2005 and passionate basketball follower, Kyrgios expressed that Gondrezick is unlikely to find a better boyfriend, whereas Brown has the chance to move forward with a more suitable partner.
“Bruh she can’t upgrade lol – he can,” Kyrgios wrote.
