Oh là là! Paris may be the city of love, but it just turned into the city of speculation thanks to Maria Sharapova’s mysterious stroll through the streets of Saint-Germain with—wait for it—a very tall, very handsome, very not-yet-identified man.
Dressed in her signature blend of “I woke up flawless” and “I own 17 skincare lines,” Maria was spotted arm-in-arm with the mystery gent, rocking oversized shades, sleek trousers, and a blazer that said, “Yes, I’m fabulous, but I’m also extremely unbothered.” Naturally, the internet spiraled into full Nancy Drew mode.
“Who is he?”
“Is he an entrepreneur? A secret tennis coach? A billionaire chocolatier?”
“Did she just casually drop a new boyfriend in the middle of Paris Fashion Week?!”
We don’t know who he is (yet), but let’s break down the evidence:
-
He laughed at her joke—genuinely.
-
He carried her shopping bags—chivalry is not dead.
-
He wore a scarf in a way that says “I brunch in Milan but live in Montmartre.”
Some fans cried out, “We just blinked and she has a whole new man?” Others begged her to tag him so they could investigate LinkedIn, Instagram, and possibly birth records. Meanwhile, Maria? Not a word. Just a single pic posted later with a croissant emoji and the Eiffel Tower.
Subtle. Savage. Sharapova.
To be fair, this isn’t the first time Maria’s stirred up romance rumors with a perfectly timed appearance and a good-looking accessory (we’re talking about the man, not the handbag—although that was cute, too). But this time, there’s real chemistry… or at least matching trench coats, which is basically a relationship in Parisian terms.
So is it love? A business lunch? A PR decoy? We’ll have to wait and see. But knowing Maria, she’ll leave us guessing—while looking like she just stepped out of a Vogue spread.
