Elina Svitolina took to Instagram to share a video of herself alongside her newborn daughter Skai, dubbing it her daughter's "first TikTok video." Svitolina and French tennis superstar Gael Monfils recently announced the birth of their first child a few weeks ago. The former World No. 3 and Monfils, a two-time grand slam semifinalist, tied the knot in July last year.
Monfils took to Twitter to announce the birth of his daughter, calling it the "most amazing night" of his life.
Svitolina's video, barely a few seconds long, has the Ukrainian using a transition effect to show off her baby to her fans while cradling it with motherly affection in her arms. The video has since gone viral, garnering more than 120,000 views in a couple of hours.
Elina Svitolina will host a charity gala in December to aid war-torn Ukraine
Meanwhile, Elina Svitolina has made known her plans to hold a charity event in December, where money will be gathered for Ukrainian families who have been devastated by the ongoing war against Russia.
The funds raised at the gala — which is being sponsored by His Royal Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco — will be put to use to support the numerous initiatives that her foundation has started.
The Ukrainian tennis post-war rehabilitation program, as well as to keep giving families who have been severely impacted by the war in Ukraine logistical and material support, are some of the activities the foundation has taken an active role in.
