Tennis star Naomi Osaka has undergone some major life changes this year. She welcomed a daughter, Shai, with her boyfriend Cordae, earlier this year. Not everything seems to be very dandy in paradise though, and Naomi’s recent post has raised concerns among fans.
Osaka has been away from tennis for months now. She opted to sit out of the Australian Open at the start of the year and announced her pregnancy soon after. However, the four-time Grand Slam champion has been preparing for a return and even shared a video of herself back on the practice court.
Osaka is quite active on social media, often sharing updates and little snippets with her fans. But her latest cryptic post has left her fans scratching their heads. Naomi tweeted that she only wants someone to watch sunsets with.
I just want someone that will watch the sunset with me.

While Naomi is very private about her personal life, her relationship with rapper Cordae is well-known. The two started dating in 2019, and the rapper has been seen at Osaka’s games a few times too.
Now, fans are wondering if the couple has broken up. Since Naomi’s tweet, fans have showered her with their support, while simultaneously bashing her boyfriend. One fan drew parallels between Naomi and other famous Black women who raised their children on their own. Another fan wrote that she, “Sacrificed her career for a loser.” Here are a few reactions to Osaka’s tweet.
There’s way too many black girls both famous and not, wealthy and not, that have kids with these bum ass boyfriends and this is the outcome. I don’t understand it. Truly. Naomi, Halle, Keke https://t.co/4zMrSrCn2O

It is natural for fans to feel protective of Naomi Osaka. However, it is just speculation at the moment, and neither Cordae nor Naomi have stated anything explicitly. If the rumors are true, it would be a big blow, especially because Osaka has just given birth.
Who was Cordae dating before Naomi Osaka?
Like Naomi, Cordae has also kept his private life under tight wraps. The news of their alleged break up has come as a surprise to many who have followed them on this journey.
As of now, reports suggest that the rapper is single. There is not much information available either about his previous relationships or if he had any.
Naomi and Cordae’s relationship only came to the limelight because they were seen attending a match together. They were together since 2019 but never tied the knot, and they now have a daughter together.
Naomi Osaka will surely bounce back from the alleged break-up, and she has much to look forward to. She has been named in the list of participants for the United Cup, and her return is imminent.
