Tennis superstar Naomi Osaka has announced her separation from rapper Cordae after five years together. In a heartfelt statement, Osaka confirmed the split while expressing appreciation for the time they shared and their greatest blessing—their daughter, Shai.
“No bad blood at all,” Osaka wrote. “He’s a great person and an awesome dad. Honestly, I’m 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, who went public with their relationship in 2019, welcomed baby Shai in July 2023. Since then, Osaka has balanced motherhood and her tennis career, returning to competition after a maternity break and mental health hiatus. Despite a recent setback due to an abdominal injury at the ASB Classic, Osaka remains optimistic about competing at the Australian Open.
This mature and amicable breakup shows both Osaka and Cordae prioritizing positivity and growth. While their romantic chapter has closed, their shared love for their daughter keeps them connected as co-parents.
Fans are inspired by Osaka’s resilience both on and off the court, and they’ll be cheering her on as she embraces this new chapter.
