What can be more important than family? Nothing, Coco Gauff would say, as she has often been seen making time for her family despite her busy schedule. Even while advancing to the semi-finals at Roland Garros, the 20-year-old did not forget her role as an elder sister. This time, despite being more than 4500 miles away from home in Paris, she made sure to send her adorable wishes to her youngest brother, Cameron, on his birthday.

Coco Gauff took to social media to celebrate her brother Cameron’s 11th birthday on Wednesday. Sharing her admiration, Coco posted a picture with him on her Instagram story, writing, “Happy birthday to the brightest soul I know. I am so proud to be your sister. I love you and miss you, Cam Bam.” In another post, she highlighted her brother’s cheeky behavior, showing him photobombing her picture. “Always photobombing my pictures lol😂 but wouldn’t have it any other way. Hbd lil bro,” Gauff captioned the image 

Coco often emphasizes the importance of her relationship with her two brothers. After her win against Ons Jabeur at Roland Garros, she spoke about her interesting dynamics with Codey and Cameron. “Those relationships are incredibly important to me,” she said, highlighting the value she places on family. The strong bond with her brothers provides Coco with emotional support and motivation, which Coco had also admitted earlier.

Just a week ago, Candi shared another of her youngest son’s achievements, highlighting his contributions to his baseball team. Cameron’s 10U Delray Beach baseball travel team won a tournament with ‘Cam Bam’ recording 15 strikeouts and hitting 4 home runs. Cameron’s impressive versatility in sports showcases the athletic talent running through the Gauff family.
