There's a whole new meaning of love on the court for tennis star Maria Sharapova, who is engaged to art dealer Alexander Gilkes. Maria announced the news on her Instagram, with a black and white selfie of her and Alexander. "I said yes from the first day we met," Maria wrote in the caption. Alexander also shared the news on Instagram, writing, "Thank you for making me happy. I look forward to a lifetime of loving you, and learning from you." Robyn Gilkes, Alexander's mother, was thrilled by the big news, commenting on Maria's Instagram post, "So exciting and welcome to our strange family! I can’t wait to be able to properly celebrate this brilliant news with instead of from so far away." Maria, who announced her retirement from tennis earlier this year, began dating Alexander – a British businessman in 2018. In February, the 41-year-old praised Maria for her essay in Vanity Fair, in which she shared her decision to leave professional tennis behind. Now, Maria and Alexander will start their next chapter together as a married couple.
