Now it’s a fact: Naomi Osaka has become a mom.

The tennis player announces this on Instagram.

In January, she and her boyfriend Cordae, a US rapper, announced their pregnancy.

Now Naomi Osaka has revealed the sweet secret that hasn’t been one for a long time: On her Instagram account, the former world number one from Japan posted a photo of a baby on her lap and the words: “Well, that was a cool little break, now back to your regular program.” Small tennis rackets and tennis balls can be seen on the baby’s onesie.

In January, the 25-year-old and her boyfriend Cordae, a rapper from the USA, made the pregnancy of the four-time Grand Slam tournament winner public. In June, Osaka announced that the couple was expecting a daughter.

struggle with depression

The birth of the child has been a topic of conversation in the scene for days. US media reported on Tuesday, citing an anonymous source. A day later, the WTA Women’s Association also wrote on its website that Osaka had given birth to a girl in Los Angeles.

The four-time Grand Slam winner has repeatedly struggled with problems in recent years. She made headlines in 2021 when she withdrew from the public following the French Open. The reason, as it later became known: anxiety and depression.

Most recently, Osaka, now number 436 in the world, took part in the tournament in Tokyo in September and gave up in the second round due to abdominal pain. Since then she hadn’t played a single game. At the beginning of the year, Osaka announced that it would not participate in the Australian Open. Next year she wants to start once more in Australia.
