The 2018 Australian Open champion welcomed her daughter in June 2021. Her daughter is named Olivia Wozniacki Lee, who is currently 2 years old. Olivia seems to harbor the spirit of both of her parents, as she seems to have a sports mindset at such a young age. However, it may not be a sport which her mother would want her to pursue.
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.

Along with her fans around the world, many stars of the sport congratulated the player on the birth of her second child. He was born into a family which has a rich history in sports and might develop an interest in a similar field as his parents.
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.
