It seems that Sharapova became a mother when she changed her status on social networks on July 1, when she wrote “mom” and put an emoji with a picture of a bear cub next to it. The fact is that the teddy bear (from English “teddy bear”) is consonant with the name of her son Theodore, so now the tennis player calls herself “mother of a bear cub.”
For half a month, Sharapova did not confirm the predictions of the fans, and only on July 15 posted a photo of her family – already three people.
The athlete signed the picture: “Theodore, VII-I-MMXXII, the most beautiful, demanding and deserved gift our little family can only dream of”.
Newly made dad Gilks reacted to the birth of his son with a humorous comment:
“Theo, I hope you inherit your mother’s coordination, not your father’s muscle memory. We love you”.
Also, the millionaire reposted a gorgeous photo of Sharapova from Vogue magazine on social networks, adding the same bear emoji and signed “Mom”.
Previously, Gilks had devoted numerous kind messages to Sharapova.
“I can’t wait to see our child, what a wonderful mother she will be, and also to finish my course on unknown vegetables and fruits,” the businessman wrote in May of this year.
“Happy birthday my love. Every year the older I get, the more chance I have of beating you in at least one match. Or not,” Gilks congratulated her sweetheart in April.
Sharapova and Gilks started dating in 2018. They were later caught together by the paparazzi at the airport exit in Los Angeles, after which they took a taxi together and left.
In December 2020, the couple announced their engagement.
I said yes from the first day we met. That was our little secret, wasn’t it?” Sharapova wrote on social media.
“Thank you for making me very, very happy and saying yes. I will love you all my life and learn from you,” Gilks replied.
The Briton gave her lover a custom-made ring in rose gold with a five-carat emerald-cut diamond. According to some sources, it cost Gilks at least $400,000.
In 2021, Sharapova became pregnant, but she hid this fact for a long time. Only on April 19, 2022 – on her birthday – she posted a photo from a holiday in Bali, where her rounded belly is already clearly visible.
“Valuable start. Eating a birthday cake for two has always been my specialty,” the tennis player signed the official with humor.
Gilks was happily by her side and posted a photo of her pregnant bride.
I want to believe that one of the most beautiful couples in the world will truly live happily ever after. Their children can either become professional athletes or go into the arts in the future.
Recall that Sharapova has won 39 WTA tournaments, five of which were in the Grand Slam tournaments and one in the WTA Finals. She is the only Russian woman and one of ten tennis players in the world to have managed to win all the majors – Australian Open, US Open, Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
Gilks has had huge commercial success since launching the Paddle8 auction house, one of the largest online art trading platforms in the world.
He was considered a fairly fit English bachelor, as his fortune was estimated at several tens of millions of pounds.
Sharapova’s fiancee is part of the royal family: she met Prince Harry and William while studying at Eton College, a prestigious men’s hostel, and met a girl named Pippa, who at that time was the sister of future Kate Middleton. Prince William’s wife. Gilkes is still friends with the royal family and was at Prince William’s wedding. Currently, his main business is investment firm Squared Circles.
