Emma Navarro has never been romantically linked with anyone

As of June 2025, the 24-year-old tennis star is not married and does not have kids. When Emma won her first WTA 500 title at the 2025 Mérida Open, she shared a special dance with her father on the podium.

Judging by this and the fact that Navarro's career takes the front seat in her interviews, it is safe to assume she is single. Otherwise, Emma's partner would probably be present during such important celebrations or attend some of her tournaments.

Ben and Kelly are their daughter's greatest cheerleaders

Although Kelly maintains a low-key profile, she is often seen on the courtside during her daughter's matches. As documented by Essentially Sports, Emma gave her dad a shout-out after winning a game against Paula Badosa in 2024, saying:

I want to show my appreciation to my dad because he saw something in me from a young age. He knew it would have been difficult for me to sit in a classroom or be employed.

While speaking to Tennis Channel in April 2024, the athlete added that her dad inspires her mindset on and off the court.

I have to give a lot of credit to my father for the knowledge and wisdom he has imparted to me over the years. He is probably the most intelligent person I have ever met.

Emma has won two singles titles on the WTA Tour

In an alumni Spotlight interview with Charleston Day School, the tennis star disclosed that she got serious about the sport in the fourth grade.

I used to wake up at around 5:45 am and play tennis for an hour before preparing for school. I would then go to the courts after school for a practice session, come back home, finish my homework and sleep early before following the same routine again the next day.

In 2019, Emma won the junior French Open in doubles, playing alongside Chloe Beck. She made her WTA Tour debut during the 2019 Charleston Open.

Navarro joined the Virginia Cavaliers the following year and was rated the nation's best tennis recruit. In 2021, she won the NCAA Singles Championship.

Emma won her first WTA title at the 2024 Hobart International three years later. She has competed against renowned players, including Naomi Osaka, Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka.
