Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard ends the feud with her sister as the twins celebrate their birthday together for the first time in EIGHT YEARS after fighting over their parents’ divorce.
Eugenie Bouchard celebrated her birthday with her twin sister Beatrice for the first time in eight years, as the couple apparently buried the hatchet to celebrate their 29th birthday.
The Canadian tennis star posed for photos with her sister Beatrice and took to Instagram to reveal that it was the first time since they turned 21 that they had spent a special day together.
Eugenie and Beatrice have shared a fractured relationship with the tennis player previously saying she was “almost a stranger” to her after they separated at the age of 10 following her parents’ divorce.
Beatrice lived with her father Michael, while Eugenie stayed with her mother, Julie.
‘It is fun. I know someone in the supermarket better than my twin sister, ”she said in an interview two years ago.

Bouchard revealed that his sister was ‘almost a stranger’ after their parents’ divorce
But the duo apparently patched things up and posed together over the weekend.
“We are definitely not a simple, happy, perfect family. Even anything but that. Our parents divorced, they were not happy with each other.
Genie was with my mother for most of her life from then on. Me, our brothers Charlotte and William with my father. So we grew up separately.
He added that since they separated at the age of 10, he sees Beatrice about twice a year.
“The situation caused enormous tension,” he said.
“Especially between me, Charlotte, Will and my mother, as well as between Genie and our father. It’s still like that today, not quite perfect. I’ve only seen her twice a year since we were 10 years old.
‘Therefore, the people in the supermarket are closer to her than her own twin sister. She is crazy. She is almost a stranger to me.
But the couple seemed to be in a much better place when they posed together in swimsuits and straw hats to mark her 29th birthday.
Bouchard is currently ranked 317th in the world and suffered a first round loss at this year’s Australian Open.
