Tennis superstar Naomi Osaka is about to embark on a new adventure, but it’s not her return to the court just yet. Osaka, who recently took a break from tennis to focus on her pregnancy, revealed to PEOPLE magazine how she is “just kind of winging it” when it comes to preparations for the baby. Fans of Osaka are eagerly waiting for any updates regarding her pregnancy and the gender of her baby. With the tennis player keeping it a secret, the excitement and anticipation for the arrival of her little one are only growing.

It is a far cry to even assume that she is going to let it slip out anytime soon, considering the father of the baby doesn’t even know it yet! Yes, that’s right! The gender of her baby is a secret that only Osaka knows, and she’s keeping it from her boyfriend, Cordae. Although, as she truthfully admits, keeping this secret is no small ordeal.

Naomi Osaka is not going to tell on her little one!
