Vika’s son Leo was born in 2016 and just 7 months later, the lady come back to compete on tour with the best addition to her team. Her son has been constantly featuring and supporting his mother in all of her matches, tournaments and press conferences! However Vika shares that the mother in her, keeps getting distracted by her son on the sidelines.
She says how when Leo is sitting in the audience, “it kind of takes me a bit, you know, into my mom mode too much rather than being a tennis player.” Even though Leo has started to really want to accompany his mother and show his support, he will have to stay at home and cheer mum on. While it is hard for the mother, she truly knows that this is what is best for Vika and Leo.
How many children does Azarenka have?
Victoria has one son, Leo with her ex-boyfriend Billy McKeague. They have had their own share of drama after splitting up in 2017. Then had to go through a custody battle that even halted Vika from competing in several tournaments.
