Naomi and Cordae have dated for more than 3 years now. During the first half of their relationship, they managed to keep it a secret. However, both soon confessed to dating each other and, according to Naomi, Cordae has been a great support to her career. However, on the contrary, fans are blaming Naomi’s relationship with Cordae for her lack of form this season.

Could Naomi Osaka do better?

Osaka and Cordae are in Europe for the holidays as is very evident from Naomi’s post on Instagram. The tennis star posted a Europe photo dump captioned with a simple, “Europe“.

Earlier this year, there were certain heavy rumors about the couple’s breakup. While neither Naomi nor Cordae had made any comments directly to answer the rumors, this post speaks volumes. Although some fans are extremely happy that the couple is not broken up, others are of the opinion that Cordae is holding Naomi back from bigger opportunities. This is due to the fact that Naomi has not been playing true to her best form this season.

Thus, social media users shared their opinions about the couple.

A fan has urged Naomi to wake up and realize that Cordae is not the right choice, while another quoted Frances Tiafoe. The reference is that her relationship with Cordae cannot be that good that it makes her focus less on the game she loves!

Another fan has made it clear that he is ready to “die alone” if it means that Naomi comes back on court and breaks up with Cordae.

Notably, some fans, in particular, are taking Naomi’s side on the situation and defending her choice:

With Cordae’s net worth estimated to be at $2 million and Naomi’s at $60 million, fans have also raised the question of Cordae “sucking her (Naomi’s) (money) dry”.

Thus, there were all kinds of opinions online.
