Since giving birth to her first child in 2022, Maria Sharapova has seemingly been enjoying her time as a mother. Sharapova, who retired from the sport in 2020, has shown signs of being a doting mother.

During last year's Christmas season, Theo's first holiday season, the 35-year-old shared glimpses of their celebrations on social media. From posting pictures of an adorable "father-son" moment to capturing moments of her son, Maria Sharapova gave fans a glimpse of her moments with Theo on his first Christmas.

Earlier, the two-time French Open winner had expressed her love and satisfaction at being a mother. She further elaborated on her life as a mother and as a businesswoman.

"I felt like I was ready to have a child of my own and pass along my own experiences," Sharapova told NewBeauty. "I’m really excited to watch this little boy grow up, although that is still incredibly hard because I’m still mostly trying to figure things out."

She further stated that she finds motherhood beautiful and challenging.

"It’s beautiful, but it’s also challenging. This has literally been the fastest year of my life. It’s like we blinked, and it’s over. I’m excited about this stage of motherhood. I feel like I’m just getting through the first few months of a little baby’s life," she added.
