Osaka’s love life

Naomi Osaka and Cordae have been dating since 2019. After several rumors about their breakup, the couple posted their Europe tour pictures which also sent out a clear message about their very committed relationship status.

Osaka won her first Grand Slam in 2018, against Serena Williams and made it to international fame. When she met Cordae at a Clippers game in 2019, the rapper had no idea about Naomi’s recognition as an excellent tennis player.  However, during this long-term relationship, Cordae has been there for Naomi during all her matches and as she confesses, he has boosted her morale whenever she needed it. Well, from what it looks like, Naomi is one lucky woman!
