Congratulations on being the newest mom in town for Naomi Osaka! The superstar athlete just welcomed her first child with boyfriend Cordae.
The Japanese professional tennis player is no stranger to the world of Sports, often hailed as the GOAT in the women’s league. Outside of her career, the 25-year-old is known for her activism and raising awareness for causes like the Black Lives Matter movement.
She joined the list of famous celebrity couples in 2019 after announcing her relationship with the North Carolina rapper. In January 2023, the founder of the sports agency Evolve revealed that he was expecting a baby with the artist, and now, the couple’s joy has arrived.

Since starting her pregnancy, the biracial athlete has been blessing fans with baby updates. However, the new mother has yet to announce the birth of her daughter on social media. Instead, a source confirmed the happy event to PEOPLE, sharing details about the tennis player’s well-being.
According to insiders, the first child of the “The Way Champs Play” author and her longtime boyfriend recently arrived in Los Angeles. The whistleblower did not say the day the newborn was born but revealed the condition of the mother and daughter.
“They are doing well,” the source claimed. Aside from Osaka’s daughter’s birthday, another mystery is the name the lovers will choose for their child. Earlier this year, the four-time Grand Slam singles champion revealed about the couple’s plans for their baby’s name.
“We have discussed names. I would say that we will look for something more unique than traditional,” the mother of one shared at the time. During her pregnancy, the 25-year-old also discussed her hopes for the future.
The Glamor Award winner admitted that she wants to be someone her son looks up to. “I would say for me, I just want to be the best version of myself,” the media personality explained.
“Obviously, I’ve never been a mother before, so I’m taking it day by day and just trying to be someone that my son or daughter would be proud of,” the tennis star concluded.
At the time, the biracial beauty had yet to announce the gender of her baby. She broke the news the traditional way by revealing her lavish gender reveal in June. The athlete and her boyfriend threw a princess-themed baby shower, complete with pink and purple decorations.

As seen in a photo shared on the Japanese athlete’s Instagram page, the event featured several balloons, flowers and mushrooms on the lawn. The area is covered in greenery and more colorful flowers; however, the highlight is the huge backdrop that reads: “A little princess is on her way!”
While this post marks the first time the activist has publicly announced the gender of her child, it’s not the first time she’s addressed the issue. In February, the former world ranking No. The 1 confesses she knows the gender of her baby, but she hides the truth from Cordae.
“I’ve made preparations, but she doesn’t know her gender yet; only I know,” Osaka revealed, noting that keeping the secret made it difficult to prepare for her son’s arrival.
“So, I can’t build a room or anything. So I don’t know, [I’m] just wing it. That’s a bit of the main motto in my life,” explained the 25-year-old player.

A few months before welcoming her first child, Osaka was dragged on social media by people criticizing the future of her tennis career as a mother. The athlete called out these fault finders on Twitter, defending her baby’s influence with a standing ovation.

“Btw to people who suddenly care about my career- Many male athletes with children are less successful. You might want to worry about them,” the media personality quipped, telling trolls not to worry about his career.
“Thank you for your concern. Maybe want to divert it to someone who needs it,” the biracial superstar concluded. In a second tweet, the 25-year-old woman emphasized that her message was only directed at critics and should not be misinterpreted as a gender stance.
“Not trying to make this a men’s and women’s thing, but let’s be together,” said the recipient of the BET Sportswoman of the Year Award. Naturally, fans supported Osaka’s message and warned haters to leave the athlete alone.
