LOS ANGELES, United States (AFP)— Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka said she and rapper Cordae are expecting a baby girl, making the gender reveal in an Instagram post that "A little princess is on the way."
The 25-year-old Japanese tennis star, who announced her pregnancy in January, illustrated the post with a photo of herself -- baby bump front and centre— surrounded by pink and lavender balloons and flowers.
In another photo Cordae leans down to kiss the burgeoning bump.
Osaka had let fans in on her pregnancy by sharing a photo of her sonogram on Instagram just days after she pulled out of the Australian Open.
"2023 will be a year full of lessons for me, and I hope I'll see you guys at the start of the next one cause I will be back at the Australian Open 2024. Love you all infinitely," she said then.
Osaka hasn't played a tennis match since last September, her social media posts late last year showing her travelling in Europe with Cordae.
The couple have been together since 2019.
