Tennis star Naomi Osaka said in a social media post Monday that she and her rapper boyfriend Cordae “are no longer a couple” after nearly six years and one child together.
Osaka made the announcement less than a week before the start of the Australian Open.

“No hard feelings at all, he’s a great person and a great father,” Osaka wrote. “Honestly, I’m really happy that our paths crossed because my daughter is my biggest blessing and I’ve been able to grow a lot through our experiences together.”
Cordae has not commented on the split.
Osaka had their daughter in Los Angeles in July 2023. She returned to the court at last year’s Australian Open after about 15 months off.
