Naomi Osaka Shoots Down Pregnancy Rumors, Suggests She Won't Have 'Many More' Kids: 'Giving Birth Was Traumatic'

Naomi Osaka has responded to rumors that she's pregnant with her second child and indicated that she won't have another kid anytime soon.

In a video shared on TikTok, the 26-year-old tennis star responded to a comment that speculated that she was expecting another child with her partner, Cordae. "I just wanna say, I'm not preggos," she opened the clip. "But if I was, I wouldn't want many more because giving birth was traumatic. But thank you, though, for your blessings."

The four-time Grand Slam singles champion gave birth to her daughter Shai in July last year. In an interview with InStyle in December, she opened up about her experience with giving birth and revealed that she was put on antibiotics after her water broke because she was infected with Group B streptococcus.

"I don't think people know how hard pregnancy is; no one really talks about it as much. Going into it, you kind of think: Oh, it's this beautiful journey. But it's kind of rough," Osaka explained.

"I do remember feeling in that moment, 'This is the worst pain of my life,'" she said. "'And I know that if I get through this, then everything else will feel very easy.'" She gave birth to a healthy baby girl, but the doctors informed her that the umbilical cord had been wrapped around her daughter's neck. Despite the trauma of giving birth, she described the day as "life-changing."

In an interview with Glamour earlier this year, Osaka said that giving birth also had a big impact on her body. "Having a baby completely destroys your pelvic floor," she shared. "I was shocked, because I couldn't get up out of my bed. I had to roll sideways, and it was a really long process because, for me, my immediate way of thinking is: To rebuild this I have to do a lot of sit-ups. And I learned that that's totally not what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to do deep pelvic-floor work."
