The 25-year-old tennis champion’s baby bump peeped out from under her cropped forest green jersey in snapshots of herself posing on a busy street. Osaka paired her look with a hat, large gold hoop earrings, tie-dye parachute pants and sneakers.
Fellow tennis player Sloane Stephens commented, “Mama in Japan 🇯🇵😠better not delete this!!!!!!!” and track star Allyson Felix left a trio of heart emojis under Osaka’s post.

Osaka opened up about how the couple is preparing for their child’s arrival in an interview with PEOPLE in February. The tennis star explained that her pre-baby planning depends on whether an action will reveal the child’s sex to Cordae.
“I’ve been preparing, but he doesn’t know the gender yet, only I know,” Osaka told the outlet. “So it’s not like I can build out the room or anything.”
“So I don’t know, [I’m] just kind of winging it. That’s kind of the key motto in my life a little,” she continued.
Sharing her thoughts on what motherhood will be like post her baby’s birth, Osaka said she’s most looking forward to “the challenges” and the “learning” that’ll come with her next chapter.
“I think there’s going to be a lot of things that I don’t know, but I have a lot of really amazing people close to me that I can ask questions. Just a new adventure,” she mused.
