Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka is now a mom.
Osaka and her rapper boyfriend, Cordae, welcomed a baby girl in Los Angeles, People reported on Tuesday.
The four-time Grand Slam singles champion and her daughter are reportedly doing well after the birth.
Osaka announced her pregnancy on Instagram in January, and while awaiting her daughter’s arrival, said she’s trying to be the “best version” of herself.
“I would say for me, I just want to be the best version of myself,” Osaka said. “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 will be proud of.”
Osaka, 25, hasn’t revealed her baby’s name but previously said they were going to opt for something unique.
While Osaka is currently focussed on being a mom, she promised she would return to the tennis court in the coming year.
“2023 will be a year that’ll be full of lessons for me and I hope I’ll see you guys in the start of the next one cause I’ll be at Aus 2024. Love you all infinitely,” Osaka said in the Instagram announcement post.
Osaka’s big day comes as her tennis rivals are competing at Wimbledon.
