Five-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova is enjoying life after retiring in 2020.
María still maintains a connection with tennis and often attends important tournaments, develops her business empire, but enjoys being with those closest to her the most.

Sharapova now has much more time to relax with her lover Alexander Gilks and their two-year-old son Theodore. The child, who was born in July 2022, no longer seems so small, as María demonstrated to her subscribers on social networks.
“What a great weekend,” Maria wrote.

Sharapova and Gilkes prefer not to show Theodore’s face for now. Many famous couples do this to protect their children from unnecessary attention.
María has lived in the United States for many years and her lover is a British man who speaks English. But Sharapova has not forgotten her roots and still speaks excellent Russian. She teaches her mother tongue to her son. Also, a two-year-old is making some progress.
Recently, Maria posted a video on social media of how she asks Theodore to give her a snack. The boy repeated the word “one” and did as his mother told him. Sharapova then asked Theodore for another snack and he obediently took the required amount from the package.
Long practice had an influence. Maria taught Theo the Russian language literally from birth, even reading him poems by Vladimir Mayakovsky and other poets.
Sharapova told her followers that Theo really liked Amara Baby Food snacks and said she had invested in the company. Most likely, Maria was joking, but it is typical for her to invest in interesting and promising projects, so anything is possible.
Sharapova herself still monitors her diet and does not indulge in too fatty foods. He decided to eat seafood at a restaurant while walking with Gilkes and Theodore by the ocean.
“Who loves to eat?” Sharapova captioned the photo.

Going on vacation with a child is a pleasant pastime, but sometimes Sharapova and Gilks prefer to go for a walk together. The other day they left their home in California and traveled just north toward the Rocky Mountains.
Sharapova posted a series of photos from her walk and laughed at Gilkes, who decided to wash with water from a mountain spring.
“Alex’s normal behavior during walks,” Sharapova wrote.

Maria Sharapova retired from tennis, but her family doesn’t let her get bored. The legendary tennis player likes it a lot, especially relaxing with her son.
“The finals of tennis tournaments were always on the weekend. If I played at this time, it means I did it successfully. Now I appreciate being able to dedicate my weekends to Theo,” Sharapova said in a recent interview with The Guardian.
