Maria Sharapova may have hung up her racquets, but her influence off the court is as powerful as ever. The tennis superstar has built a massive fanbase and continues to make waves in the public eye. Whether it’s her business ventures, stylish appearances, or just fleeting glimpses into her life, the tennis community remains captivated by her every move – eagerly following latest updates of her life. Just like her fans are always quick to shower her with love, there’s one person who never misses a beat when it comes to celebrating Sharapova. We are talking about none other than her fiance, Alexander Gilkes. 

The 37-year-old former player took to her Instagram to share pictures from her latest photoshoot for Numero Netherlands magazine. She can be seen in various attires, ranging from a body-fit black dress to a glamorously knitted white outfit. In yet another post, she shared pictures in a black coat with oversized collars and buttons. But it wasn’t just her looks that captured the eyes of fans, her fiance’s reaction also took a mega share of the attention. 

In the comments section, Gilkes showered immense love over his partner. The entrepreneur wrote, “ Beautiful photos 🔥❤️,” as he expressed his joy over the look of the former tennis star. He posted a “❤️,” in the comments section for the second post as well. For the unversed, Gilkes and Sharapova have been together for over six years now, and their love has continued to remain unmoved.

The couple started dating back in 2018. Two years later, Gilkes proposed to the former player and the pair soon announced their engagement on Instagram. Two years later, they welcomed a baby boy, Theo. Gilkes was an auctioneer at Phillips under the guidance of Simon de Pury. He started his entrepreneurial journey with Paddle8, an online auction company he founded in 2011. 

Coming to Sharpova, in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the 37-year-old opened up about her fashion style. “I prefer elegant silhouettes, working off layers and textures, nothing too loud, pieces that are more focussed on the details and the stitching,” she shared. Interestingly, on numerous occassions, the couple has also depicted their humorous side.

When Maria Sharapova teased Alexander Gilkes’s ‘normal’ trait

Maria Sharapova and Alexander Gilkes have depicted their love for each other time and again. But as their relationship is evolving, they are continuously discovering new traits in each other and are also poking fun at each other. One such instance was witnessed recently when Sharapova decided to use her social media to cheekily expose her fiance’s traits. 

Taking to Instagram story, Sharapova shared a video clip of her journey while hiking in the Rocky Mountains. She highlighted the misty edge of her road and the mountains in the backdrop – which delighted her followers. However, something that stood out even more was the fiance’s funny side. 

In her next story, Sharapova captured a photo of Gilkes who was seen cleaning his face with the river water. “Normal behavior on hikes with @gilkesa,” captioned Sharapova as she revealed her fiance’s childish side. The fans of the legendary star would be awaiting more such moments from the life of the couple that has continued to blossom over the years.
