Naomi Osaka is starting the year with a new chapter in her life. The tennis icon recently revealed that she and rapper Cordae have ended their relationship.
However, Osaka assured fans there’s no animosity between the two as they remain committed co-parents to their daughter, Shai.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Monday, the 27-year-old shared the news, saying, “No bad blood at all, he’s a great person and an awesome dad.”
Osaka continued, expressing gratitude for their time together: “Honestly really glad our paths crossed because my daughter is my biggest blessing, and I was able to grow a lot from our experiences together.”
The couple first went public with their relationship in 2019, capturing fans’ hearts with their supportive and private dynamic. They announced they were expecting their first child in early 2023, and despite challenges during Osaka’s pregnancy, the tennis star gave birth to their healthy baby girl, Shai.
Reflecting on their journey, Osaka noted that they had “built a really good foundation” and are united in their commitment to prioritizing their daughter’s well-being. “At the end of the day, we both want what’s best for Shai,” she concluded.
Osaka, a former World No. 1 in the WTA rankings, has always balanced her personal life and career with grace. Fans continue to support her as she embarks on this new phase, emphasizing her resilience both on and off the court.
As Naomi Osaka returns to the court and Cordae continues to thrive in music, fans are eager to see how the two will navigate this new chapter while keeping Shai at the center of their world.
