Stan Wawrinka married Swiss TV presenter and fashion model Ilham Vuilloud in 2009, but the couple parted ways in 2015. According to online sources, Wawrinka and Vuilloud first met in 2005 and after dating for four years, they tied the knot in December 2009 at the Lausanne Palace Hotel in Switzerland, just three months before the birth of their daughter Alexia.

Wawrinka made that news public through a Facebook post. He wrote: “We have enjoyed 10 fulfilling years, with all the ups and downs that every couple experiences, but sometimes life is more challenging than one would hope.”
“Ilham and I were both blessed to create a family when our wonderful daughter Alexia was born in 2010. We have always tried to live our lives as a team and as a family, despite the challenges we have faced due to the demands of my career. To my great regret, this isn’t possible anymore.”
“Ilham will always be the mother of my daughter and a person that I have a lot of love and respect for. We will always remain as a family. Now my priority is to do everything to protect Alexia during these challenging times.”
