Maria turned from a sexy athlete into a respectable family woman.
Former first racket of the world Maria Sharapova three years ago announced the end of her professional career, which, after the doping story with meldonium, never truly resumed.
Sharapova is no longer a perky tennis player, but rather a housewife with a son and a millionaire fiancé. Her life has changed once and for all, but the Russian woman still tries to remain in the spotlight and spends time with Hollywood stars.
And yet, by the age of 36, it is almost impossible to recognize one of the main beauties of world sports in her. Time spares no one.
Sharapova, child and British millionaire
Sharapova’s personal life has always been very turbulent. She met with the lead singer of one of the most popular musical groups in the world Maroon 5 Adam Levin, was engaged to NBA star Sasha Vuyachich, was in a relationship with tennis players Andy Roddick and Grigor Dimitrov, but found happiness with a person from a completely different sphere. In 2018, Maria spoke about an affair with British millionaire Alexander Gilks.
The 43-year-old is a longtime friend of Prince William and Prince Harry and attended William and Kate Middleton’s royal wedding. Alexander was also the head auctioneer at Louis Vuitton, dealing with works of art. In general, a person who has connections with very big people and knows how to earn a lot of money. Their relationship with the Russian woman resulted in the fact that in 2020 the couple announced their engagement, and subscribers are still waiting for information about their wedding. There is a complete feeling that this will be a powerful party.
On the day of her 35th birthday, exactly a year ago, Maria made the loudest statement in her life after the doping story. The Russian woman spoke about the pregnancy, and already in July 2022, the son Theodore was born. Sharapova and Gilks give information about their child in a very dosed manner and only occasionally delight subscribers with photographs in which it is very difficult to see baby Theodore. However, there is nothing surprising here: world stars are often forced to lead a secretive life, fearing criminals and scammers.
What does Sharapova look like now?
Some fans lament that Sharapova no longer looks as sexy as she did at the peak of her tennis career. Someone even notes that Maria has gained weight. A sports past and a high level of income allow her to remain attractive and stylish, but now she is a serious and respectable woman, and not a girl in revealing outfits that drives her crazy with her beauty.
The ex-first racket of the world really flashes on many fashion shows, it is not a problem for her to go to Milan or New York for a day to walk the catwalk in beautiful clothes. Especially now, when the pandemic is over and you can travel without restrictions.
By the way, the coronavirus was one of the reasons why Sharapova and Gilks delayed the date of the wedding. The couple wanted all their friends and relatives to be at the event and feel completely safe there, without fear of contracting the virus. So there is a possibility that soon the Russian woman and the Briton will make a statement. In the meantime, Mary’s secular life is in full swing.
Russian woman spends time with world stars
Maria recently posted a photo with actor Danny DeVito during the Breakthrough Prize 2023 in Los Angeles. Fans did not hide their admiration for the exquisite black outfit that the Russian woman was wearing that evening. She also had time to have fun with actress Gal Gadot and a number of Hollywood stars.
In March of this year, Maria was spotted hanging out with the star of the series “White Lotus”, the same “Stifler’s mom” Jennifer Coolidge, whom she met at the Vanity Fair Oscar party.
It was at the Oscars that some fans noted that Sharapova gained a little weight, evaluating the dress of the former world tennis star. Haters have always been and will be with people with this level of popularity. Even if the Russian woman has gained a few kilograms, this does not prevent her from remaining one of the most recognizable and influential people in the whole world.
