Motherhood and Maria

In the picture Maria posted on Christmas eve, Theodore is seen playing with a ball hanging from the Christmas tree. Maria posted this on her Instagram with a hand-drawn heart sign before posting the next story of her outfit for the day. Keeping in track with her fashion sense, Maria’s oatmeal white jacket and joggers look amazing! The tennis star also shared pictures of the fish pie she enjoyed as a Christmas delicacy with the family.

Maria Sharapova has agreed on multiple occasions that motherhood has given her the “most fulfilling role” ever. With four grand slams, and international recognition as a celebrity, motherhood was still very difficult for Maria like most new mothers. While she struggled with regular hunger pangs after breastfeeding, she kept going and still thinks that being a mother has been a rewarding experience.
