Sharapova celebrates boyfriend Gilkes' birthday in Spain

Published Jul 24, 2019

Maria Sharapova ventured to southern Spain to celebrate her boyfriend Alexander Gilke's birthday. The Russian looked right at home in Andalusia, embracing the style of flamenco in dress and spirit.

The pair were joined on the magical trip by friends, and a few horses to fill in the backdrop.

Gilkes, a British businessman who owns the auction house Paddle8, turned 40 last Tuesday. He and Sharapova have kept their relationship largely private—aside from posting on their Instagram pages—but have been linked since early 2018.

Sharapova has had an injury plagued 2019 season, and has put together only a 7-4 record. At least she's living life to the fullest off the court.

The 32-year-old is currently ranked No. 76 heading into the U.S. hard-court swing.
