Maria Sharapova’s Millionaire Fiancé Proves He Knows Her in and Out as He Gifts a Charming Present on Her Birthday
Former WTA pro Maria Sharapova turned 37 years old today. After signing off from her professional tennis career in February 2020, Sharapova has been involved in different gigs, exploring her way through collaborations, businesses, and charity. While she decided to take a day off to embrace the things she loves on her birthday, her fiancé’s wishes stood up to be on top of it.
The tennis legend celebrated her birthday with a simple yet valuable gesture from her fiancé, Alexander Gilkes. While every fan might expect lavish parties and expensive gifts, Sharapova showed her appreciation for the little things in life as she revealed her love for balloons on her Instagram story. Sharing a video of her holding the colorful balloons, she wrote, “I take birthday balloons very seriously.”
Alexander Gilkes, known for his connections in New York and his previous marriage to matchmaker Misha Nonoo, proved that he knows what her partner loves by gifting Sharapova a bunch of colorful balloons. Sharing a photo of her holding the balloons with a big smile, Gilkes included a sweet message on his Instagram story: “Happy birthday, my love!”
The couple’s relationship has been going strong since they began dating in 2018. Their bond was evident when they were spotted hand in hand during a date at an art gallery in Beverley Hills in March of that year. Sharapova further delighted fans in April 2022 by announcing her pregnancy on her 35th birthday, marking a new chapter in their journey together.
Sharapova and Gilkes’ heartfelt gestures serve as a reminder that true happiness often lies in the simple joys shared with loved ones, rather than in extravagant displays of wealth or status.

This isn’t the only moment that covered Maria Sharapova’s 37th birthday highlights. The former WTA pro also shared a post on Instagram in which she can be seen having fun with her fiance as they wander around in Spain.
“Eating (so much eating!! 😳)and walking (very little walking in ratio to eating 😅) our way through San Sebastián for a little p-e birthday getaway. 🍄🟫 The cheesecake at La Vina alone was worth every bit of jet lag,” she captioned her post, summing up the overall moments that she spent on the occasion of her birthday.
