JAKARTA - Former world number one Maria Sharapova and her fiancé Alexander Gilkes are delighted to welcome their first son. Sharapova and Gilkes have a baby boy named Theodore.
Sharapova shared the happy moment with her 4.4 million followers on Instagram. In the photo, Sharapova can be seen holding her tiny baby with Glikes by her side.
Accompanying her happiness, the former tennis player who won the Grand Slam five times also pinned a sweet statement on Theodore's presence.
"Theodore VII.I.MMXXII. The most beautiful, challenging, and rewarding gift our little family could ask for," Sharapova wrote as quoted from The Sun.
Sharapova and Gilkes, 42, started their relationship in 2018. Two years on, Gilkes, who is a British businessman, then expressed his seriousness by proposing to the tennis queen in December 2020.
Although the moment of their engagement was simple, Gilkes chose an engagement ring that was far from simple. Because the ring chosen for Sharapova is encrusted with diamonds worth £300,000.
After announcing their engagement, Sharapova wrote that she had believed in Gilkes even when they first met.
“I said yes from the first day we met. This is our little secret, right @gilkesa," Sharapova said.

When Sharapova expressed her willingness to accept Gilke's proposal, it was clear the businessman was delighted and claimed to be the happiest man. Gilkes loved Sharapova very much and promised to be together for the rest of her life to keep learning.
Sharapova became world number one in August 2005 when she was just 18 years old. Not just once, Sharapova held the position four times in her career.
She won five major titles consisting of two titles at the French Open and one each at the Australian and US Opens plus Wimbledon. While throughout her career she has won a total of 36 titles.
The Russian tennis player announced her retirement from tennis in February 2020. When stating the decision, Sharapova admitted that it was not easy to quit the tennis world that she loved so much.
"How do you leave the only life you've ever known? How do you leave the field you've been training on since you were a kid, a game you love even though it makes you cry and happy," Sharapova wrote at the time.
"How do you leave a sport where you found family, along with the fans that gathered behind you for over 28 years?" she continued.
