However, the couple maintained their privacy and got secretly married in 2018 after decades of togetherness. While the former world’s number one tennis player spoke about their life at times, King’s recent confession about Illana expresses how they managed to stay together for so many years romantically.

In an interview with Woman & Home, Billie Jean King delved deeper into their heartwarming moments together and Illana’s contribution to her life. According to Woman & Home magazine, “She makes time for TV binge-watching dates with Kloss, 68, whom she first met 52 years ago, when the South African-born Kloss was a ball girl for a tournament in Johannesburg. The two reconnected about 15 years later and wed in 2018.” 

King also confessed how much happiness her wife had brought to her life. In King’s words- “Ilana is the best thing that ever happened to me. She inspires me every day. We often say ‘I dream it and she builds it.’ She has an amazing ability to get in the solution and move things forward without ever losing sight of the original vision. Not everyone can do that.” This statement showcased that Billie Jean King and her partner Illana Kloss share a great bond that motivates the former tennis legend towards positive things.
