The WTA tennis season has wrapped up with the Billie Jean King Cup, and players are ready to unwind and recharge for the next season. For Taylor Townsend, this downtime is all about family. Fresh off a compelling competition for Team USA, she’s been spending quality time with her loved ones. Recently, she attended the wedding of her fellow doubles player, Madison Keys, before returning home to her son, Adyn Aubrey. And her social media is full of updates about her days with him!

After a season filled with highs and lows, Townsend finished her doubles year ranked No. 5. With three doubles titles out of seven total, she knows how to work as part of a team. Competing fiercely at her debut WTA Finals was a highlight. Now back in Georgia, she’s enjoying her off days with her energetic three-year-old son.

On November 21, Townsend posted a selfie with Adyn from their home, saying, “Back at it with my twin. Mom mode fully activated.” The photo showed Adyn posing from the bathtub while Townsend flashed a victory sign. Earlier today, she shared another story of Adyn singing along to songs from Disney’s ‘The Lion King.’ The caption read, “Watching Lion King 1 1/2 for the 5th time today,” complete with a frustrated emoji.

Since Adyn arrived three years ago, he has been her source of joy and support through thick and thin. After losing to Jessica Pegula at the 2024 Cincinnati Open, she shared a touching video of Adyn caressing her cheek and saying, “I love you, Mama.” While Townsend may not have won the WTA Finals this year, she has plenty to celebrate—like her Grand Slam title at Wimbledon alongside Katrina Siniakova. Now that she’s off the court, Townsend is soaking up every moment with Adyn. He is not just her son but also her ultimate support system in the competitive world of tennis.

Taylor shares a moment of how much her son impacts her life as a tennis player

After welcoming her son Adyn, Taylor Townsend took an 18-month break from the tennis circuit to relish the joys of motherhood, but her competitive spirit remained ignited. Inspired by tennis legend Serena Williams, Townsend was determined to return to professional play while also setting a powerful example for her child. Winning her first Grand Slam title in Wimbledon doubles marked a monumental moment for her, and she expressed her excitement to share that success with Adyn, whom she misses dearly on tour.

Ahead of her match at the 2024 Wimbledon, Townsend shared a heartwarming moment on her Instagram story that perfectly captured the bittersweet nature of a mother’s farewell. In the clip, she held her son, Adyn, close, asking for hugs before she left for the tournament. “Give me some hugs… I love you so much. I’ll see you in a couple of weeks when I get back, okay? And I’m going to do some winning,” she reassured him. Her caption revealed the deeper significance of her victory: “This means the world to me to be able to show him what Mama did.” For Townsend, this triumph was not just a personal milestone, but a promise fulfilled for her son.

The American tennis star’s Instagram stories beautifully illustrate her journey as an inspiring mother who skillfully balances her professional life with family time. After the tournament, Townsend and Adyn enjoyed a fun-filled day at the park, where he enthusiastically declared he was “making you something” while playing in the sand. Their dogs joined in on the adventure, and Townsend captured these joyful moments with the caption “Outside time,” highlighting her dedication to creating cherished memories with her son. Now that the 2024 season is over, hopefully, we’ll see more adorable moments from the mother-son duo!
