Sharapova was engaged to British businessman Alexander Gilkes in December 2020. Gilkes, 42, is a well-connected millionaire with personal ties to the royal family.
“I said yes from the first day we met,” Maria wrote as the caption to their engagement post. “This was our little secret, wasn’t it.”
Sharapova was engaged once before to Slovenian professional basketball player Sasha Vujacic, but the two never married and had no children.
Sharapova was ranked world No. 1 for 21 weeks during her 19-year professional tennis career. The five-time Grand Slam champion is one of just 10 women to complete a career Grand Slam.
