MusaMaria Sharapova is feeling all the love as she celebrates a special moment with her little boy! The tennis legend recently shared a heartwarming message in honor of her son Theodore’s third birthday, and fans can’t get enough of the sweet mom-son bond.
Just days after making a stylish appearance at Wimbledon, Sharapova took to social media to celebrate her son’s big milestone. In a touching post, she shared a rare glimpse into her life as a mom, along with a few adorable throwback moments of baby Theodore. The photos, full of warmth and smiles, show how much he’s grown — and just how proud she is to be his mother.
In her message, Maria wrote about how much joy Theodore has brought into her world over the past three years. She called him her “sunshine” and thanked him for making her laugh every day. It’s clear from her words that motherhood has added a new kind of magic to her life — one that even her biggest tennis wins can’t quite match.
Fans of the former world No. 1 know Maria for her intense focus and fiery presence on the court, but this post showed a much softer side. Her followers flooded the comments with birthday wishes for little Theodore and praised Sharapova for how gracefully she’s embraced life after tennis.
It’s been three years since Maria and her fiancé, British businessman Alexander Gilkes, welcomed Theodore into the world. Since then, she’s kept a relatively low profile when it comes to her private life, choosing to share only special moments like this one.
Sharapova’s journey from global tennis champion to businesswoman and mom has been nothing short of inspiring. Whether she’s launching new wellness products or showing up courtside at Wimbledon, she continues to keep her fans engaged — but it’s clear that being a mom is her favorite title yet.
As Theodore turns three, Maria’s message is a beautiful reminder of how fast time flies and how meaningful the quiet moments of family life can be. Her tribute struck just the right balance of emotion and elegance, proving once again that she’s as graceful off the court as she was on it.
Happy Birthday, Theodore! Here’s to many more joyful celebrations ahead.
