Is Gabby Bell a tennis player? Learn all there is to know about the teenager who was pictures alongside Billie Jean King at the 2023 US Open.
The stars were out for the opening night of the 2023 US Open on Monday in Flushing Meadows, New York. The likes of Michelle and Barack Obama, Anna Wintour, Alec Baldwin, Mike Tyson and Danny DeVito were in attendance at Coco Gauff’s opening match against qualifier Laura Siegemund on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
To celebrate the anniversary, Michelle Obama introduced tennis legend Billie Jean King during the on-court ceremony. Obama said: “Billie Jean teaches us that when things lie in the balance, we all have a choice to make. We can either wait around and accept what we’re given. We can sit silently and hope someone else fights our battles. Or we can make our own stand.”
During the ceremony, Michelle Obama was joined by Gabby Bell, who sat next to the former First Lady. Later on in the evening, Bell was photographed alongside the former first lady and Billie Jean King, which sparked queries about who the teenager was. As it turns out, we have all you need to know about the 15-year-old.
As it turns out, Bell is a budding tennis player at the Kings County Tennis League.
