The RONA has people getting desperate.
Eugenie Bouchard is lonely, but maybe not for long thanks to IG.
The Canadian star joined American sports journalist and presenter Allie LaForce for some quality time on social media and it didn’t take long for talk to turn to Bouchard’s relationship status.
The 26-year-old tweeted last month “quarantine would be a lot more fun with a boyfriend” and later revealed eligible bachelors had been sending dating resumes to her agent.
A fan known simply as “Bob” commented on her Instagram Live stream multiple times, saying he loved her. That’s when LaForce took charge and managed to get hold of him on FaceTime as the video chat took an interesting turn.
Bob called Bouchard a “smokeshow”, saying “I think I’m in love with her”. Pressed to comment further on how deep his feelings run for the former world No. 5, he added: “We’re going to have to figure that out as we go along, Genie. We don’t really know yet, OK, so we’ll take it slow.”
Bob was shooting his shot, and it was going to pay off. As the minutes passed his DM dropped in Bouchard’s inbox, suggesting they should get together to “Netflix and chill”.
“Yes Bob, we’ll Netflix and chill sometime,” she responded.
