Maria Sharapova is off the market!
On Saturday, the 31-year-old tennis star seemingly confirmed she’s dating British businessman and co-founder of Paddle 8 Alexander Gilkes when she shared a photo from her trip to the Cotswolds — a rural area of south central England.
“Fall in the Cotswolds,” Sharapova captioned the shot, which shows her standing in a stunning field of autumn-colored flowers.
She also added emojis of the English flag and a couple holding hands.
Gilkes, 39, who has remained close friends withPrince Williamsince their time at Eton College, also shared an Instagram from their romantic getaway on the exact same field.
“The Cotwold’s [sic] Fields of Gold… retracing childhood steps #thefall,” Gilkes wrote. Sharapova later commented on the shot saying, “Your photographer is better than mine 🤷🏼♀️,” jokingly referencing herself.
The Russian athlete alsoposted a photo of Gilkeson her Instagram Stories, which has since been removed, according toThe Sun.
