In September 2017 Sharapova surprised fans, having published a photo with ring on the ring finger on Instagram. But the story did not continue. In Russia, wedding rings are traditionally worn on the ring finger of the right hand. 

After a week of training at the IMG Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy,  five-time winner of the Grand Slam series, ex-first racket of the world Maria Sharapova was spotted in the New York area of ​​the Hamptons. A Russian woman went shopping with her boyfriend, the famous millionaire Alexander Gilkes, who is the co-founder of an online auction house specializing in fine arts and collecting.

Earlier it was reported that Maria Sharapova began to date British businessman Alexander Glikes.The affair of Maria Sharapova (30) and Alexander Gilkes ​​(38) became known at the end of January. The tennis player prefers to hide her private life from prying eyes, but the paparazzi were conveniently waiting.. Then the lovers were photographed at the airport in Los Angeles.

But now Maria, it seems, does not even think of hiding. Recently the couple was spotted in Beverly Hills after visiting the exhibition in the gallery of Larry Gagosian (72). They were smiling and holding hands.

Alexander, the founder of the auction house Paddle8. He and the British royal family are on a first-name basis: Gilkes ​​is a close friend of Prince Harry (33) and former lover of Pippa Middleton (34). By the way, his ex-wife designer Misha Nonoo (31) is also close to Meghan Markle (36). So Maria very soon (May 19) may be present at the wedding of Harry and Meghan.
