Canadian tennis pro – Eugenie Bouchard is currently playing in the Chennai Open, where she has reached the round of 16.
The 28-year-old tennis star has a twin sister named Beatrice. Unfortunately, they had to grow up separately as their parents split 14 years ago and Eugenie stayed with her mother Julie while Beatrice and siblings Charlotte and William lived with their father Michel.
In an interview in January, Beatrice opened up on her relationship with Eugenie stating that she seldom gets to see her twin sister and hardly knows her.
“It’s very funny. I know someone in the grocery store better than my twin sister,” she admitted.
“We are definitely not a simple, happy, perfect family. Even anything but that. Our parents got divorced, they weren’t happy with each other.
“Genie was with my mother for most of her life from then on.
“Myself, our siblings Charlotte and William with my father. So we grew up separately.”
Beatrice also added how the divorce caused a lot of tension in the family. She said that she has been seeing Eugenie only twice a year since their parents got separated.
“The situation caused enormous tension,” she added.
“Especially between me, Charlotte, Will, and my mother, as well as between Genie and our father.
“It’s still like this today, not at all perfect. I’ve only seen her twice a year since we were 10 years old.
“Therefore, people in the supermarket are closer to her than her own twin sister. It’s crazy. She is almost a stranger to me.”
Eugenie and Beatrice were seen together in April at a music festival in California. They wore matching outfits inspired by ‘The Powerpuff Girls’ cartoon show.
The twins made the rare public appearance at Coachella and fans loved seeing them together. They posted a lot of photos together from the event.
The Bouchard sisters looked quite happy in each other’s presence in the photos and hopefully, their broken relationship is on the verge of being fixed.
