Maria Sharapova is in full-on proud mom mode as her son Theodore just turned three! The former tennis champion took to social media to share a sweet and emotional message for her little boy, and fans couldn’t stop smiling at how adorable the moment was.
Just days after attending the Wimbledon finals, Maria celebrated a much more personal victory — her son’s 3rd birthday. She posted a heartfelt message with throwback pictures of Theodore that melted hearts across the internet. One of the photos shows little Theo enjoying a quiet moment in nature, while another captures him laughing — a reminder of how fast time flies and how much joy motherhood has brought Maria.
In her message, she wrote about how being his mom has changed her life in the best way possible. Maria’s words were simple but deeply touching. She talked about the happiness, wonder, and even the challenges that come with raising a child, especially one as curious and energetic as Theo. It’s a side of her fans don’t often get to see — the soft, family-oriented Maria instead of the fierce athlete on the court.
What made the celebration extra special is that it came right after Maria made a surprise appearance at Wimbledon, the tournament where she once stunned the world as a teenager by winning the title in 2004. This time, instead of battling it out on the grass, she watched from the stands, looking relaxed and stylish. Fans loved seeing her in the crowd, especially now that she’s embracing a slower-paced, family-focused lifestyle.
Though she’s no longer competing professionally, Maria Sharapova still finds ways to stay connected to the sport she loves — whether it’s through attending big matches or supporting young players. But her number one role now? Being Theodore’s mom.
As her son turns three, Maria’s message is a reminder of how life changes in unexpected ways. From Grand Slam titles to bedtime stories and birthday candles, her journey has taken a new direction — one filled with love, laughter, and a lot of toddler energy.
Fans all over the world are sending birthday wishes to little Theo, and it’s clear that Maria is cherishing every moment of this new chapter. One thing’s for sure: whether she’s on the tennis court or in the playroom, Maria Sharapova gives it her all.
