Serena Williams’ former hitting partner Sascha Bajin is reportedly working with Sloane Stephens. This was shared by German Eurosport commentators earlier today.
Bajin has been Williams’ longtime hitting partner but he was noticeably absent during the Australian Open 2015 where Serena won her 19th Grand Slam title. The split was confirmed by several news outlets by March that year.
Confirmed by the German Eurosport commentators:

Sascha would go on to work with Victoria Azarenka but with the latter’s pregnancy, it is but reasonable that he’d be looking for a new player to work with. There’s no indication if this partnership will be long term or until Azarenka’s ready to be back on tour sometime next year.
