The couple tied the knot in 2015 after two years of dating.
Kamoun and Jabeur still live in Tunisia in the beachside city of Sousse.
Jabeur said of the public reaction to them: “When I go back to Tunisia, people are very happy to see me.
“Even when they’re driving, people sometimes clap and cheer for me.
“My husband, Karim, jokes he doesn’t want to go to the shopping mall with me anymore because it gets too busy with people coming up to me. But I love it.
“It is great connecting with people, it is part of my journey. I love seeing them and seeing their support.
“That’s one of the reasons why I started playing tennis.”

“She’s really nice. She’s playing tennis, so it’s really amazing to see her.
“The little one is always smiling, great energy. I just love the family in general.
“They invited me once to their home. It was really amazing to be with them.”
