spent the last three months of pregnancy, I’d say in a nesting stage where I didn’t do too much. I didn’t feel my body was ready and I was getting quite tired. I felt quite uncomfortable towards the end,” she explained. “Once I gave birth, I had this renewed energy, which I think I needed.”
“This energy gave me the confidence to start working out slowly. And when I say working out, in the beginning, it was a stretch session to then it was a little bit of a toning session and then it became more Pilates and now I’m taking longer walks and soon I’ll do a little bit more cardio,” Sharapova said.
“It’s about taking the right steps and not getting too far ahead of yourself because you really want to get back in shape and you want to get your self-esteem back about your body, but it takes time,” she continued. “And I think I’m quite patient.”
He keeps her on ‘mom duty’ even on vacation
All About Maria Sharapova’s Son Theodore

Sharapova doesn’t take her role as “mom” lightly — even when she’s on vacation! In October 2022, the tennis champ jetted off to Greece for a little getaway.
In an Instagram carousel, Sharapova shared with her followers everything from her unique European excursions to her breastmilk-pumping commitment amid her travels.
“Catching the last summer rays in 🇬🇷 The last image …always on duty 🍼 even inside the caves and a low battery 😆,” she playfully captioned her post.
The Grand Slam champ has previously been candid about her breastfeeding experience on Instagram, and echoed the “challenging” beginnings of nursing when speaking to PEOPLE in August 2022.
“You really don’t know much about what you’re doing and then you just figure it out. And then, in the end, it’s all okay. I think it’s more of the scheduling that’s tricky. It’s so many times a day,” Sharapova said at the time.
“It’s about managing your schedule so much better and you don’t do things just on the spot. You have to plan a little bit further in advance,” she added.
He’s Alexander Gilkes’ ‘greatest gift’
Gilkes is one proud dad! The father of one celebrated Father’s Day with a heartfelt Instagram tribute to his own dad — and gave a special shoutout to Theo for making him a dad, himself.
“Happy belated Father’s Day to all who are fortunate enough to play this role. Thank you Padre for being a role model father to your boys and girls, with the right balance of quirky and kind, and Theo for giving me the greatest gift of fatherhood ❤️,” Gilkes captioned a slideshow of cute photos with his baby boy.
