Naomi Osaka admits she is “really excited” about motherhood as she believes her life will change for the better when she welcomes her first child.
In January, 25-year-old Osaka announced her pregnancy.
According to TMZ Sports, rapper Cordae is the father of Osaka’s child.
“I’m not really sure I can prepare. I know there are things I can buy and classes I can take, but, this is going to be my first, and I’m really excited. Everyone I know that has had a kid, it has changed their life. I don’t think I can prepare for it. I think I’m gonna have to go with the flow,” Osaka told Vogue.
Osaka pulled out of the Australian Open, then announced her pregnancy
Osaka didn’t sign up to play any tournaments at the start of the 2023 season.
Then, Osaka also withdrew from the Australian Open.
Some felt that Osaka’s withdrawal from the Australian Open was a concerning sign and feared that the four-time Grand Slam champion was contemplating retirement.
Osaka then shut down the retirement talk, announcing the pregnancy and confirming her plans to return to the Australian Open in 2024.
“The past few years have been interesting to say the least, but I find that it’s the most challenging times in life that may be the most fun. These few months away from the sport has really given me a new love and appreciation for the game l’ve dedicated my life to. I realize that life is so short and I don’t take any moments for granted, everyday is a new blessing and adventure. 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 in the start of the next one cause I’ll be at Aus 2024. Love you all infinitely. Sidenote: I don’t think there’s a perfectly correct path to take in life but I always felt that if you move forward with good intentions you’ll find your way eventually,” Osaka announced.
