Without a doubt, Canadian tennis beauty Eugenie Bouchard has successfully carried forward the legacy of glitz and glamor in women’s tennis with great panache over the years. After struggling with injuries and poor form on the tennis court for a considerable amount of time in the recent past, Bouchard returned to action at the beginning of this year. But her comeback didn’t go as expected – she played only 9 tournaments so far in 2023 with hardly any impressive performances to show for.

However, that isn’t stopping the 29-year-old from making the most of her time away from the court, especially with her family. She is currently back in her hometown Montreal, Canada. On her way home, she got a pleasant surprise from of her brother, prompting an affectionate response from their father.

Although Eugenie’s parents Michel Bouchard and Julie Leclair, along with her siblings, didn’t always enjoy the smoothest of relationships, everything seems to be going well for the Bouchard family at the present moment. After a disappointing performance at the Wimbledon championships a few weeks back which ended in a defeat against Greet Minnen in the qualifying rounds, Eugenie Bouchard is now back in Montreal to participate at the National Bank Open which kicks off today.

Upon landing at the Montreal airport, Eugenie was greeted by her younger brother William Bouchard, who also happened to arrive in Montreal around the same time as he returned from his trip. Being the doting father that Michel is, he sent a text message to Eugenie as soon as he learned about their arrival.

However, the camaraderie between the members of the Bouchard family wasn’t as great in the past as it is today.

Eugenie’s tumultuous relationship with her family

Born and brought up in Montreal in the state of Quebec, Canada, Eugenie Bouchard is the eldest of 4 siblings, along with her twin sister Beatrice. Unfortunately, their parents Michel and Julie separated from each other when Eugenie and Beatrice were just 10 years old. While Eugenie stayed with her mother, Beatrice, and the younger siblings lived with their father.

Naturally, this caused a lot of tension in the family, which further escalated when Eugenie went on to become a successful tennis professional. Constant comparisons with her twin sister further strained Beatrice’s relationship with Eugenie.

However, the twins have made active efforts to rekindle their relationship in the recent past – be it by celebrating their birthday together earlier this year for the first time in 8 years or attending Coachella together in 2022. And Eugenie’s recent Instagram activity certainly testifies to the renewed love the family members have found for each other.
