Gabriela Sabatini: Life, Legacy & Why She Says She’s at Peace Without Marriage or Kids

Even years after returning her racket to the bag, Gabriela Sabatini remains one of tennis’s most graceful icons — not only for her powerful forehand, but for the clarity she’s found in life. In recent interviews, she’s shared her comfort with living life on her own terms: unmarried, child-free, but absolutely fulfilled.

“I’ve Never Felt the Pressure to Conform”

Sabatini has made it clear that she has never been married and does not have children. Rather than seeing that as a void, she frames it as freedom — more time to travel, more space for philanthropy, and more energy for the causes she cares about.

Business, Beauty & Her Fragrances

Beyond her status as a sports legend, Sabatini regularly involves herself in her perfume line (originally launched in the late 1980s) and other business ventures. She still turns heads, not with tennis, but with style, elegance, and a voice that supports youth tennis and education in Argentina.

Homes Between Two Cities

Gabriela divides her time between Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Boca Raton, Florida. This dual-home lifestyle lets her stay connected to both her roots and a part of the world where she’s made many close friendships and memories.

Legacy & Inner Peace

At 55, she says that her legacy isn’t defined by trophies anymore — it’s defined by impact, kindness, and self-fulfillment. She’s often praised for her sportsmanship, her support of young athletes, and the dignity with which she handles the public eye — qualities that make people look up to her just as much today as they did at the peak of her career.

Gabriela Sabatini shows that life after sport can be vibrant, meaningful, and deeply personal — not in grand gestures, but in quiet choices.
