Naomi Osaka welcomes her first child—and her name is oh so sweet

Naomi Osaka is a mom! The tennis pro welcomed her first child with her long time boyfriend, Grammy-nominated rapper, Cordae, People confirms.

The four-time Grand Slam singles champion, 25, gave birth to a sweet baby girl. Mom and baby are both reportedly, “doing well.”

Cordae revealed the name of their daughter on stage while in concert in Canada. He told the audience, “My daughter Shai was just born a couple days ago, so I dedicate this performance to my baby girl Shai. Love you, I’m going back home,” he said. According to Nameberry, the baby name Shai is of Hebrew origin meaning, “gift.” How sweet is that!

Osaka first announced her pregnancy earlier this year with a series of adorable sonogram photos on Instagram. The caption read, “Can’t wait to get back on the court but here’s a little life update for 2023.”

The first-time parents have been dating since 2019. This is the first child for both Osaka and Cordae.

Osaka spoke to Bazaar in March about how her pregnancy was feeling so far. She said, “I have been very fortunate to have a relatively easy pregnancy. I still enjoy listening to music and playing video games as a way to relax.” She added, “Meditation has been extremely helpful for my anxiety.”

In June, Osaka shared photos of her baby shower on social media.

Now, the little princess is here! Congrats to the new parents!
