She announced her second pregnancy a year after her daughter’s birth. Not long after, in October 2022, she welcomed her son into the world, James Wozniacki Lee. She announced the birth of her son on Instagram, where she showed a picture of him with the caption, “Family of 4👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 James Wozniacki Lee born October 24, 2022.

Family bond and parenting style

Wozniacki, like any other person on the planet, had to learn how to rear her children. She signified the need to ensure that both of her children feel acknowledged, listened to, and appreciated. According to the tennis icon, adopting this approach can foster a positive and affectionate bond among siblings. The player is not alone, as she has her husband, David Lee, by her side to help her through the difficulties of the new life.

James was born a year after Olivia. Managing one child is a great task; managing two is another thing altogether. But Wozniacki has managed to find the perfect way to raise both. When she is making decisions about her son and creating a good environment for him, she actively involves Olivia in those decisions.

While she felt it was important to involve her daughter in those decisions, she made sure to give enough individual time to her daughter. Seeking out advice and guidance from her loved ones helped Wozniacki formulate a good plan for her children.

Life’s precious moments

Having fun with her children is one of the bigger delights of Wozniacki’s time with them. While James is still an infant, her daughter is over two years old. Wozniacki and Lee make sure to be as active with her as they can. 

In an Instagram story not long ago, her daughter put her mother’s tennis legacy in doubt as she chose golf over tennis. In the story, she added that her daughter played golf for over 30 minutes straight and then again for a while after that.
