Caroline Garcia ended her 15-year tennis career, which began at 16, with a final appearance at Roland Garros. Now, at 32, she has moved on from the sport and shared a more personal and uplifting update with her fans this week.

Less than a year after retiring, Caroline Garcia announced on Sunday that she is expecting her first child with her husband, Barcelona-based businessman Borja Duran, whom she married last July following their June 2024 engagement.

The announcement came through a joint post on their social media accounts, where they wrote, “The family is growing 🩵🍼."

In the pictures, the couple strolled along the beach at Fairmont Mayakoba Riviera Maya, dressed in matching blue outfits and proudly holding their sonogram pictures.

While the couple stopped short of confirming the baby’s gender, the choice of blue attire did not go unnoticed, prompting light speculation among fans.
