“There's no bad blood at all. He's a great human being and a great father,” Osaka wrote. “Honestly, I was really glad our paths crossed because my daughter is my biggest blessing and I was able to grow so much from our experiences together.”

Cordae did not comment on the breakup.

Osaka gave birth to her daughter in Los Angeles in July 2023. She returned to the court at last year's Australian Open after taking a break of about 15 months.
