Stefan is nine years old while Tara is six.Taking to Instagram on his wife’s birthday, the 24-time Grand Slam champion penned an emotional note to her, adding a picture of them sharing a romantic kiss by the sea.
When the World No. 3 celebrated his own birthday in May earlier this year, Jelena extended her wishes to him with similar affection, calling him to a ‘silly’ father with a heart ‘as big as the universe.’
