Former Tennis Star is Pregnant for the First Time

“Valuable beginnings! Eating birthday cake for two has always been my specialty,” Maria Sharapova (35) comments on her latest Instagram post. She poses visibly happy and relaxed on the beach – in a bikini top and with a baby bump!

In the photo she marks the alleged father of the unborn baby, businessman Alexander Gilkes (42). Sharapova has been engaged to him since December 2020. The Brit was previously married to designer Misha Nonoo (37), who is a good friend of Duchess Meghan (40).

It is the first child for Sharapova and her fiance. Numerous celebrities are happy with them. Actress Lily Collins (33) congratulates with a happy and excited “Ahhhh”. Ex-top model Helena Christensen (53) writes: “It’s so wonderful” and cosmetics pope Barbara Sturm (49) leaves a long “Yay” and heart emojis. The German ex-tennis professional Tommy Haas (44) also congratulates the expectant mother.

Former US Open champion Sharapova ended her tennis career in February 2020. Her career was marred by a 15-month ban in 2016 after testing positive for a banned substance.
