Inside Maria Sharapova’s Un-Wedding Plans: What the Cameras Haven’t Caught (Yet!)
The world watched as Maria Sharapova dominated tennis courts, collecting Grand Slam titles and building an empire. But when it comes to her personal life, especially her journey to the altar with fiancé Alexander Gilkes, the former tennis queen has kept things refreshingly private. And for good reason!
While many celebrity weddings are grand spectacles, Maria and Alexander, who got engaged in December 2020, have deliberately chosen a different path. The “big wedding” that was once on the cards has been put on hold. Why? The beautiful arrival of their son, Theodore, in July 2022.
This means that while cameras haven’t caught a lavish ceremony, they’ve instead captured glimpses of something even more intimate and profound: the quiet joy of a growing family. Maria has shared that they are “not in a rush” to schedule a new wedding. Between embracing motherhood, managing new business ventures, and Alexander’s own professional pursuits, their focus is firmly on their little one and building their life together, day by day.
