Popular Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova gave birth to a child. And although there was no official announcement, subscribers noticed a change in her social media status. In the "About Me" column, Maria wrote "Mama" and added a teddy bear emoji.
In April 2022, we wrote about the pregnancy of the tennis player. She announced the joyous event on her 35th birthday by posting a picture on the beach with a rounded belly. Later on her account, Sharapova wrote the following: "Precious beginnings. Eating birthday cake for two has always been my speciality."
Did Sharapova give birth to a boy or a girl?
It's unknown yet. Maria herself has not yet announced the birth of the baby, but fans have already started actively congratulating her and her husband on the birth of their firstborn. "Health to you and the baby"; "When will you reveal the sex of the firstborn?"; "When will you introduce us to the baby?" - wrote the tennis player's followers from all over the world.
Who is the father of Sharapova's baby?
The father of the child is British businessman Alexander Gilkes. The couple's engagement became known in December 2020. Sharapova's husband is a board member of the New York Academy of Art, co-founder of venture capital fund Squared Circles and online auction Paddle 8, which specializes in the sale of fine arts.
