Malibu Christmas for loved-up Sharapova

Loved-up Maria Sharapova was spotted celebrating Christmas with new fiancé, art dealer Alexander Gilkes in Malibu, California on Friday.

The 33-year-old and Gilkes, 41, spent the festive weekend at a beach house with friends.

Sharapova wore a bright red jumpsuit and sneakers as she was snapped on the balcony of the beach house, keeping out the sea breeze, in a grey overcoat.

The pair started dating in 2018 two years after Gilkes divorced former wife Misha Nonoo, a friend of Meghan Markle.

Gilkes himself is a good friend of Prince William – the pair went to Britain’s famed Eton College together.

Sharapova was linked to tennis pro Grigor Dimitrov for a couple of years.

The pair were photographed all loved up on the balcony as she put her hands on his shoulders.

She shared a snap of herself at sunset as she wrote, “Ohhh, Christmas. You were very different this year but I still love you.”
