Ivanovic and her World Cup-winning soccer player husband, Bastian Schweinsteiger, tied the knot in 2016 in Venice, Italy. In 2018, the couple welcomed their first son, Luka, and a year later, they announced the birth of their second son, Leon.
Ivanovic, a former World No. 1, has now shared a series of pictures while expressing excitement over her pregnancy. She beamed with delight as she proudly displayed her growing belly.
"Grateful - excited - happy... feeling all three lately," she captioned the post.
In February, the 35-year old announced that she and her husband were expecting their third child. She shared a heartwarming image of the couple embracing her baby bump on Instagram, eliciting an outpouring of joy and congratulations from her fans.
"Now @bastianschweinsteiger and I are officially getting outnumbered," Ivanovic wrote.
The Serb was a formidable competitor in her prime, winning an impressive 15 singles titles in her career. Her crowning achievement was winning the French Open in 2008, where she defeated Dinara Safina in the final. Ivanovic had previously reached the French Open final in 2007 and the Australian Open final in 2008.
In October 2022, Ana Ivanovic was nominated for the 2023 International Tennis Hall of Fame, alongside Carlos Moya, Daniel Nestor, Flavia Pennetta, Lisa Raymond, Cara Black, and Juan Carlos Ferrero.
"People actually can trust and afford" - Ana Ivanovic about her skincare brand
Having retired from professional tennis in 2016, Ana Ivanovic has now made her mark in the beauty industry with her organic and sustainable skincare brand. She launched Ana Ivanovic Natural Performance in September 2022.
Partnering with the renowned Judith Williams Cosmetics team, the Serb's brand has been operating out of the prestigious Cura Cosmetics offices in Innsbruck, Austria.
Ivanovic once said she was on the hunt for organic and environmentally sustainable skincare products, which is why she set out to create her own brand.
"I was always searching the perfect skincare for myself. I also wanted something organic and sustainable -- these things are becoming super-important, people are more and more aware of them,” she said.
She emphasized that her brand strives to produce cosmetic products that are both affordable and dependable.
"This was very important to create something that works, that people actually can trust and afford," Ivanovic added.
The 35-year-old is not the only WTA player to have ventured into the world of skincare. In 2021, Naomi Osaka launched Kinlò, a line specifically tailored to meet the needs of those with melanated skin tones. Jessica Pegula, meanwhile, has introduced her brand Ready 24.
