Tennis stars Anastasia Potapova and Alexander Shevchenko, who got married at the age of 22 in December 2023, are rumored to be ending their marriage just nine months later. Fans have noticed that Potapova unfollowed her husband on Instagram and deleted all traces of their relationship from her profile.
The couple’s social media actions have sparked rumors about their relationship, with many wondering if their marriage is in trouble or if they have already ended things.
Potapova and Shevchenko were reportedly dating since late 2022, with Potapova mentioning in an interview with Tennis.com at the 2023 Roland Garros that they had been together for six months. They seemed to handle their tennis careers and relationship well, with Potapova talking about Shevchenko’s supportiveness amidst their busy schedules.
“Having someone who can support you is really helpful,” Potapova said. “Not just as part of your team, but as someone close to you who understands tennis and wants the best for you.”
Despite initial concerns from fans about the speed of their engagement and marriage, Potapova and Shevchenko both achieved career-high rankings during their relationship. Potapova reached No. 21 in the WTA rankings in June 2023, while Shevchenko peaked at No. 45 in February 2024.
However, now things may be falling apart for the couple. Fans are left wondering if the pressures of fame, travel, and tennis have affected their relationship or if there’s more to their social media split. (photo: Jimmie48)
