Brenda has been posting videos and photos of her daughter on her Instagram account. She has embraced motherhood very well and gives regular updates on her daughter.

“This morning I got up and read a message on my cell phone … “Happy Mother’s Day. I was surprised at first, it was me who always congratulated. Now I get congratulations too. I can share my happiness, Mayla still doesn’t really understand. To all mums .. Mother’s Day is not just today, but every day. All the best for you and your children,” Brenda wrote on the occasion of mother’s day.

War of words between Zverev and Brenda

However, Brenda has not been on good terms with Zverev and hence hadn’t reacted well to Zverev’s comments about their then-unborn daughter.

“I think that will be the most important thing in my life. It will be an incredible feeling for me. I’m really looking forward to it, I can hardly wait. I think when you have your first child, you never get that feeling again in your life,” Zverev said.

“I really wonder what he wants to achieve with it. ‘Highlight of his life’? He is pleased? ‘Most important?’!” Brenda said.
