British tennis ace Johanna Konta has said that she is fortunate to have a most "supportive and empowering" boyfriend in movie producer Jackson Wade.

The couple have been reportedly dating since 2017, when Konta won the Miami Open.

"My boyfriend empowers me. He encourages me to trust my own decisions and be who I am, because he says I'm awesome - so therefore I should believe it too," Konta said in an interview with Hello magazine.

Jackson is the co-owner of British production house, 90SecondStory.

Johanna, Britain's No. 1 ranked tennis star, also revealed that the couple are pretty serious about each other and keen to have a long-term relationship.

"We live together and we've already got a few commitments at the moment," added Konta, who entered the second round of Wimbledon yesterday after beating Romanian Ana Bogdan 7-5, 6-3.
