Maria Sharapova announced some big personal news on social media on Tuesday.

The legendary tennis player revealed that she is pregnant. Sharapova, 35, made the announcement on her Instagram account.

“Precious beginnings!!! 🤍👼🏻 Eating birthday cake for two has always been my specialty,” she wrote on Instagram.

Sharapova, a Russia native, has accomplished quite a bit in her life, both on and off of the tennis court. On the court, she won Wimbledon in 2004, before winning the U.S. Open in 2006, the Australian Open in 2008 and the French Open in 2012 and ’14.

Off the court, Sharapova was a celebrity, posing for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue in 2006.
