Inside Bart And Kissick’s Relationship

But they didn’t tell anyone about their relationship until 2017 when Ash invited Gary to the Newcombe Awards, where she won the top tennis award in Australia. Gary Kissick and Ash Barty are both from Queensland, Australia.

Last year, when they got engaged, they were all over the news. At the time, Ash posted a picture of them together on Instagram with the caption “Future Husband” and an emoji of a ring and a heart.

Barty has always said that Gary was a big part of her success in tennis. Barty spoke to Vogue in January about her fiancée and how much he meant to her.

“He’s the perfect person to have around in terms of turning off from tennis and being able to bring the joy and humor when we’re practicing and not be so serious all the time… “I wouldn’t want to go on this adventure with anybody else,” she stated.
