In what turned out to be a shocking confirmation from ESPN’s Darren Rovell via Twitter, the high-profile couple of tennis stars – Maria Sharapova and Grigor Dimitrov – has “officially” split up.

“Rumors of Maria Sharapova and Grigor Dimitrov splitting up have been confirmed,” wrote Rovell, who works as a reporter and correspondent.

When someone tried to corroborate credibility of the hearsay, Rovell was quick to reply that the news had been broken out by “someone who would know” it.

Sharapova (28) and Dimitrov (24) had been dating each other since 2013. The engagement rumours spiced up some time later after the former was spotted wearing a ring, before the gossips were fired down.

This is not the first time that Sharapova has had something to forget in her love life. Before meeting up with Dimitrov, she had been engaged with former basketball player Sasha Vujacic, but the duo could also not take their relationship forward.
