“I spent the most wonderful night of my life, which ended around six in the morning with the most beautiful gift. Elina was strong and brave. I can only thank my wife and God for this special moment. Welcome to the world my little princess SKAÏ”, wrote Gaël Monfils on Twitter to announce the birth of his daughter. A photo of their index finger touching the baby’s tiny hand completed the post.
Since then, the couple has published several photos or videos of their child, always taking care to hide his face. Elina Svitolina thus regularly gives news of Skaï to her some 860,000 subscribers.
