25-year-old four-time Grand Slam singles champion, Naomi Osaka has welcomed her first child with rapper boyfriend Cordae in Los Angeles, United States.
Both mother and newborn daughter are doing well says report in the US media on Monday.
This is the first baby for Osaka and Cordae. The pair previously revealed that they were expecting in January via Instagram.

In the January Instagram post, Osaka shared pictures of her baby’s ultrasound. She also wrote in the caption, “Can’t wait to get back on the court but here’s a little life update for 2023.”
The four-time Grand Slam singles winner expressed her excitement about being a mother, stating that she would return to the court at the 2024 Australian Open.
“I know that I have so much to look forward to in the future, one thing I’m looking forward to is for my kid to watch one of my matches and tell someone, ‘That’s my mom’, haha. 2023 will be a year that’ll be full of lessons for me and I hope I’ll see you guys at the start of the next one cause I’ll be at Aus 2024. Love you all infinitely,” she wrote in the post.
Speaking with People in April, Osaka said the new parents were still deliberating on names for the baby but would be going for “something more unique than traditional.”
