Maria Sharapova’s Past Romance With Bulgarian ATP Star Resurfaces in a Candid Miami Open Moment.
“I saw tears in his eyes,” Maria Sharapova wrote in her autobiography Unstoppable (2017), recalling the time when she sat in Grigor Dimitrov’s player’s box alongside his mother, turning the Bulgarian star extremely emotional. The relationship eventually didn’t work out, as both of them had different career goals, but until they were together, they were making headlines quite consistently. Now, almost a decade after their break up, Dimitrov has revisited his relationship with Sharapova during the ongoing Miami Open. So, what has gone down?
It won’t be an overstatement to say Dimitrov is one of the most eligible bachelors in Miami right now! After surprising a lucky fan with a special rose delivery a couple of days ago, the 33-year-old joined two female fans on a cable car ride. And, during their interaction, the fans asked him to describe his “dream girl.” Later, he was asked to name one female player he would want to get hitched with.
Dimitrov hesitated for a bit initially saying, “Marry? Putting me on the spot here.” But once he was pushed, he came up with a counter-question. “Yeah because I’m not ready for marriage. Who do you think will be a good fit for me to go to dinner with? Let’s see that.”
“Maria Sharapova,” the answer was quick and predictable. Dimitrov gave a cheeky smile and said, “She was my ex-girlfriend.” The fans apologized straightaway for making this awkward, but the Bulgarian laughed and replied, “It’s all good we’re on excellent terms.” When did Dimitrov start dating Maria Sharapova though?
