Maria Sharapova opened up about becoming a mother at the right time
In an interview with People magazine in June last year, Maria Sharapova opened up about being a mother at the right time. She revealed that after having a son, she has maintained a healthy distance from tennis.
“I don’t know if any woman ever knows when it’s time to step into a new phase or motherhood, but I feel like I made the choice at the right time. I feel like I have a healthy distance from tennis. I was ready for a new chapter in life," Maria Sharapova said.
She also opened up about her marriage plans with Alexander Gilkes:
"Yeah. We're not in a rush," she says with a laugh. "We're just so excited about Theo, and Alexander also just launched his company recently. So in between work and parenting, there's just so much going on right now."
Maria Sharapova's last tournament of her career was the Australian Open in 2020.
