Back on March 11, 2021, Alexander Zverev and German model Brenda Patea became parents to their daughter, Mayla. Even though the two have broken up since then, Zverev has pledged to support his daughter with Brenda.
Back in October 2020, Brenda Patea shocked everybody as she announced that she was expecting her first child with Zverev. Brenda said: “I’m 20 weeks pregnant and I am expecting a child from Alex.”

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.
