Elina Svitolina says Gaël Monfils divorce is due to emotional impact of Russia’s war in Ukraine

Tennis players Elina Svitolina and Gaël Monfils have ended their five-year marriage, citing the heavy psychological toll of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Svitolina shared that the persistent stress, sleep deprivation, and inner struggle proved too great for their relationship to survive, despite the unwavering backing of her husband.

The pair, who share a daughter named Skai, recently competed as a mixed doubles duo at the US Open, reaching the semi-final round before ultimately deciding to part ways.
