The couple has been romantically linked since 2019, and in July 2023, they welcomed a baby girl named Shai. Though the tennis star hinted at a breakup in October 2023 when she scrubbed her Instagram of photos with the rapper, she spoke about parenting with her boyfriend Cordae while appearing on the cover of InStyle’s December 2023 digital issue.
Over the years, the “Kung Fu” singer has frequented Osaka’s tennis matches and accompanied her to the Met Gala in 2021, and now, they’re tackling their next adventure as they adjust to life as new parents.
Cordae and Osaka attended an L.A. Clippers game for their first date in 2019, though the two opted to keep quiet about their relationship for the first year they were dating. In a video for GQ, Cordae later revealed their first kiss was in Indian Wells, California.
The rapper also shared his favorite date with Osaka thus far. “We drove to Rhode Island from New York to go visit my grandmother. That was super tight,” he said.
He’s a rapper
Cordae is a Grammy-nominated rapper who has collaborated with H.E.R. and Young Thug. Upon the release of his sophomore album Bird’s Eye View, Osaka praised him on Instagram, saying, “Getting closer to someone and seeing how much love and dedication they put into their craft is truly inspiring.”
The artist commented on her post, writing, “I LOVE U 2 DEATH !! U TRULY MY RIDE OR DIE BONNIE AND CLYDE JUST WAY MORE FLY.”
Cordae wrapped up a Euro tour in October 2022, marking the occasion by sharing photos and videos from the tour on Instagram. The carousel post included footage from concerts and a photo of his seat on a plane. “My first ever headline tour in Europe is complete! Appreciate y’all more than u know. Can’t wait to come back 1000X over. New music otw 📶,” he wrote in the caption.
