Remember: almost a year ago, Caroline Garcia caused a stir by announcing that she was ending her tennis career during the Roland-Garros tournament. A major turning point, which is documented in the film “Roland-Garros – Between the lines” that will be broadcast in prime time on Thursday, May 14 on France 2. It is on this occasion that the former world number four chose to share some great news.
Away from the courts, the one who married her lover Borja Duran last July has opened a new chapter: Caroline Garcia is pregnant with her first child! “We are really happy: at the beginning of August, we will welcome a little boy,” she revealed exclusively to Gala on Wednesday, May 13.
Caroline Garcia: her excitement about becoming a mother
The Lyon champion expresses her impatience to embark on this beautiful adventure: “We really want to create a family and become parents. It’s happening quickly! It will be intense, but we are really eager. There are a lot of emotions, a lot of love, and inevitably a lot of changes too!” After years of traveling around the world for competitions, the thirtysomething says she is embracing this “new stage with its uncertainties.” Always maintaining a strong mentality!
Of course, like many expectant mothers, Caroline Garcia admits she is “gathering as much information” as possible from her loved ones to be ready for this huge change. But the former tennis star has no apprehension about the arrival of this little boy: “You have to have confidence in yourself. Even though I don’t know this little boy yet, I already love him very much and when he is here, I will do my best to help him grow up healthy.” She also emphasizes the importance of the future father’s role: “My husband is very supportive, he helps me, reassures me, does research, and we think together about how to educate our son.”
