What have Louise Jacobi and Cameron Norrie said about their relationship?
In a 2022 interview with the PA news agency, Jacobi admitted she initially “just wasn’t interested” in Norrie as she pointed to the complication of his unusual life of constant travel on the tennis tour.
She said, though, that she was won over by Norrie’s “persistence” and how he did “an amazing job at keeping in touch” when they were far apart in the early stages of the relationship.
Jacobi revealed that Norrie invited her to join him at the Vienna Open in 2019 after she lost her job when her employer went bankrupt.
“When he asked me, I thought, ‘I guess this guy doesn’t live a normal life, and it’s not like I can meet (him) down the street and go to dinner together,'” Jacobi explained.
“So I went on this trip and was only supposed to be in Vienna for five days, and things just went really well.
“In some weird way, I was like, ‘Thank God I got laid off when I did’ because we were able to build the foundation of our relationship before Covid hit.”
Jacobi also described Norrie as “very calm, very level-headed, easy-going and takes things as they come.”
Norrie has revealed that he and Jacobi “get into arguments” when they cook.
“Louise always wants to follow recipes to the letter while I prefer to wing it and experiment a bit,” Norrie explained.
