Tennis star Naomi Osaka, rapper Cordae welcome baby daughter

Four-time Grand Slam singles champion Naomi Osaka is now a first-time mom.

Osaka, 25, and her boyfriend, rapper Cordae, recently welcomed the birth of their daughter in Los Angeles, the WTA has announced. Mother and daughter are "doing well," a source told People.

Cordae revealed the name of their daughter while performing at Canada's Calgary Stampede: Shai.

"My daughter Shai was just born a couple days ago, so I dedicate this performance to my baby girl Shai," he told the audience over the weekend. Osaka previously hinted the couple might opt for "something more unique than traditional" in a conversation with People earlier this year.

The pair first revealed in January that they were expecting a baby. Then in June, Osaka announced she was going to have a girl with another series of photos on Instagram of a princess-themed baby shower.

The former No. 1-ranked player in the world, Osaka has not played competitively since the 2022 Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo. However, she is planning to return to action in time for the 2024 Australian Open – a tournament she won in 2019 and 2021.
