During the event, Sharapova took questions in front of a 1,200-strong audience.
As the conversation went on, one questioner’s phone awkwardly began to ring.
To the delight of the crowd, Sharapova answered the call, which came from his wife, Kelly.
The Russian said: “Kelly, Kelly, this is Maria Sharapova and we are in front of 1,200 people.
“So just say hello.”
To the delight of the crowd, Kelly responded: “But… hello!”
Sharapova then added: “Your dear husband said that you were calling so we had to answer. He says he loves you!”
The five-time Major champion, and everyone in the audience, then laughed again as Kelly replied: “Alrighty!”
