Tennis star Naomi Osaka treated fans to a sneak peek of her blossoming baby bump while out and about in Japan.
Sharing a carousel of pics with her 2.7 million Instagram followers, Osaka could be seen wearing a crop top that showed off her growing bump.
The 25-year-old tennis star is expecting her first child with boyfriend and rapper Cordae.
As her due date approaches, the 4-time Grand Slam winner took a trip to Japan where she posed for snaps in between some sightseeing.
The soon-to-be mom captioned the post with the Japanese flag.
“Mama in Japan ???????????? better not delete this!!!!!!!” fellow tennis star Sloane Stephens wrote in the comments section.
Osaka later shared a close-up photo of her bump on her Instagram Story.
The two-time US Open winner announced in January that she’s expecting her first baby after dropping out of the Australian Open.
Taking to social media, the tennis ace posted a photo of a sonogram.
“The past few years have been interesting to say the least, but I find that it’s the most challenging times in life that may be the most fun,” wrote Osaka, who has been dating Cordae since 2019.
“These few months away from the sport has really given me a new love and appreciation for the game I’ve dedicated my life to.”
“I realize that life is so short and I don’t take any moments for granted, everyday is a new blessing and adventure. I know that I have so much to look forward to in the future, one thing I’m looking forward to is for my kid to watch one of my matches and tell someone, ‘that’s my mom,’ haha.”
Osaka revealed that she hopes to return to the court for the 2024 Australian Open.
“2023 will be a year that’ll be full of lessons for me and I hope I’ll see you guys in the start of the next one cause I’ll be at Aus 2024. Love you all infinitely,” she went on.
“[Side note]: I don’t think there’s a perfectly correct path to take in life but I always felt that if you move forward with good intentions you’ll find your way eventually.”
Osaka and the rapper, who remains tight-lipped about their relationship, were first spotted together at a Clippers game in 2019.
