In her address, the tennis player explained that the full-scale war in Ukraine significantly affected her emotional state. Behind the external composure and sporting successes, there were sleepless nights, doubts and experiences, which she did not talk about publicly for a long time.

At the same time, the athlete did not blame her husband for the breakup. According to her, Monfils listened to her and treated the decision with respect. Elina also stressed that their relationship was an important part of her life, and the years together brought her many happy moments.

Context

The athlete frankly told how the full-scale war affected her emotional state, why she needed to find herself again and what place their four-year-old daughter Skye occupies in this difficult story.

Svitolina noted that she gradually began to lose her sense of self and realized the need for change. After much deliberation, she concluded that she could not fully restore the inner equilibrium within the marriage.

What's next

On October 19, 2026, Elina Svitolina announced the end of her marital relationship with Gael Monfils. The news came as a surprise to many fans of the couple, because until recently, athletes publicly demonstrated tenderness for each other and supported joint professional endeavors.

Separately, the tennis player stressed that the end of the marriage does not mean the dissolution of their family. The most important thing for both of them is the daughter of Skye, for whose sake they will continue to be close and jointly perform parental duties.
