Regularly seen supporting her partner, Louise was in the stands for Norrie's epic Centre Court win over David Goffin in 2022 and broke down in tears after the five-set thriller.
Speaking about the match, she said: "It was surreal. When your significant other is crying in front of you — like choking up — how could I keep a dry eye?

"I remember him saying when we first met: 'Oh, my dream would be to be in the top 10.'
"Back then I didn't know it was going to transpire, and just watching his hard work pay off has been insane."
Who is Cameron Norrie?
Cameron Norrie, born August 23, 1995, is a British professional tennis player.
As a youngster, Norrie grew up in New Zealand and started playing tennis with a squash racquet in his driveway at age 6, after being introduced to the sport by his mum.
Speaking of his early years, Norrie said: "When I was three or four I moved to New Zealand and went to school there.
"I played all sports in New Zealand. Cricket, rugby, tennis as well as cross country for the school.

"I was playing pretty much every sport until 14 or 15 which was when I honed in on tennis.
"Both my parents were very good squash players.
"My dad was No1 in Scotland for the Universities and my mum was a great player too so they had squash rackets all throughout the house and the garage.
"Do you remember the old squash rackets? They were really long and thin with a tiny head... really old school.
"I remember my mum sawed off the handle of her racket and we played with sawn-off squash rackets in the driveway.
"That was how I started playing tennis and first hitting the ball."
After finding a passion for the sport, Norrie relocated to London alone and began representing Great Britain in 2013 — after playing most of his junior tennis for New Zealand.

In his career, he has triumphed over the likes of Dominic Thiem, Marin Cilic, Diego Schwartzman, and Grigor Dimitrov.
Norrie has won five ATP Tour singles titles, including a Masters 1000 title at the 2021 Indian Wells Masters, and one doubles title.
He was the British No.1 in men’s singles between October 2021 and June 2023, when he was ousted by Jack Draper.
His current ranking, as of July 6, 2024, is 38 in the world by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP).
In January 2024, Cameron Norrie was knocked out of the Australian Open following a fourth-round defeat to Alexander Zverev.
The Brit lost 7-5 3-6 6-3 4-6 7-6 (10-3) to his opponent in a five-set thriller that lasted over four hours.
And he's up against the German next at Wimbledon, with play scheduled to start at 1.30pm on Saturday, June 6, 2024.
