"There were so many elements of my sport that I could apply" - Maria Sharapova reveals how tennis shaped her approach to motherhood
Maria Sharapova got engaged to British businessman Alexander Gilkesh in December 2020. Two years later, the couple welcomed their first son Theodore on July 1, 2022.
As a prominent figure in the tennis scene with a demanding travel schedule, she faces the challenges of balancing her career and taking care of her son. However, in an interview with People, she stated that her discipline and lifestyle from tennis enabled her to navigate this busy life.
