"Sunday with my Princess" - Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina's baby daughter enjoys quality time with father as they spend weekend together
Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils' daughter, Skai, savored quality time with her father as they spent the weekend together. Monfils recently shared a photo of himself and his daughter standing in front of a beautiful painting.
Svitolina and Monfils tied the knot in July 2021, and in May 2022, they announced that they were expecting their first child. On October 15, the couple welcomed their daughter, Skai Monfils, into the world.
The tennis couple kept things low-key for the first few weeks of their daughter's life. However, they gradually started to share more content about Skai on social media, giving their followers a glimpse into their new life as a family.
Gael Monfils recently shared a heartwarming photo of himself and his daughter standing in front of a painting, with an inspiring quote: "Dream Big Dreams."
"Sunday with my Princess ❤️ "Dream Big Dreams" #grateful🙏🏾," Monfils captioned the post.
Svitolina shared Monfils' post on her social media with a red heart emoji.
Elina Svitolina received special commemorative plaque from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for war-relief efforts
Elina Svitolina was honored with a special commemorative plaque earlier this month from her country's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in recognition of her remarkable contributions to the Russia-Ukraine war-relief efforts.
Life has been incredibly taxing for Svitolina since the city of Odessa in southern Ukraine became the target of relentless bombing. This is the city where her family still resides; her parents were able to escape the country, but her grandmother remains in the city, desperately trying to stay safe from the devastating attacks.
The former World No. 3 was appointed as the ambassador of United24, a platform dedicated to helping fundraise for those in need. She has been a driving force in raising funds for medical professionals, supplies, and modern medical equipment to support her home country of Ukraine.
For her remarkable accomplishments, the Ukrainian tennis star was felicitated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Taking to social media to express her gratitude, she shared a few photos of herself with the commemorative plaque.
"Together towards victory - Разом до перемоги 🙏🏼🇺🇦✊🏼 @u24.gov.ua," she captioned her Instagram post.
Svitolina has not been alone in her efforts, receiving support from other athletes in the community. Her foundation has been a consistent source of aid for Ukrainians in need.
