Naomi Osaka talks relationship with Cordae after breakup rumors
Tennis star Naomi Osaka discussed the dynamic between her and rapper Cordae after the two welcomed a baby following speculation they had split in October.
Osaka, who gave birth to daughter, Shai, in July, discussed parenting together and explained why their relationship works in a cover interview with InStyle for its December 2023 Celebration Issue.
We built a really good foundation, the 26-year-old Osaka said. I don’t know if it’s because he’s just an easygoing guy, but I think we just respect each other’s opinions.
“And if we disagree on something, we talk it out. At the end of the day, we both want what’s best for Shai.
Osaka added that she recently started cooking recipes that Cordaes mom taught her, including southern-influenced foods, such as mac and cheese and sweet potato casserole.

In the beginning, there was a huge adjustment period, Osaka said.
It was life-changing in a day,” she said. “From the moment that you come back home from the hospital, everything’s different.
Osaka also wrote a will before going into labor with her first child, which made her feel “uneasy.”
