In 2016, Billy McKeague and Victoria Azarenka gave birth to a son, Leo.
“You don’t know how someone is going to react at a young age being a dad, but he loves Leo so much and is very affectionate,” Azarenka once said. “He understands what I want to do right now, and he’s also willing to sacrifice his time away from his family as well for the next five, six years for me to be done with this chapter of my life of playing.”
Victoria Azarenka & Billy McKeague split-up
The duo split up in 2017 when Leo was just a few months old. In August 2017, Azarenka and McKeague were in a custody battle over their son. The Belarussian’s non-American citizenship worked in McKeague’s favor and she could not take her son out of California.

The two-time Grand Slam Champion did not participate in the subsequent US Open, as she did not want to leave her son in California. Following that, she missed out on many tournaments on the WTA tour.
In 2018, the tennis player said that she wouldn’t wish for anybody to go through what she had been going through. The former World No.1 suggested that she might write a book on it someday, which will be Oscar-worthy. At the end of the lengthy battle, Azarenka got custody of Leo.
