How did Naomi Osaka and Cordae meet each other? Well, in 2021, during an interview with GQ, Osaka revealed a bit about how their first date unfolded with the two struggling to find each other inside a large stadium. She said, “We were on FaceTime trying to find each other because the arena was so big. And I just remember seeing that there were so many people who wanted to take a picture with him.

What is the key factor in their adorable relationship, though? Well, she spoke about this in December 2023 during an interview with InStyle. Naomi Osaka said, “We built a really good foundation. I don’t know if it’s because he’s just an easygoing guy, but I think we just respect each other’s opinions. And if we disagree on something, we talk it out. At the end of the day, we both want what’s best for Shai.” In that interview, she also spoke about how she has started to learn some cooking recipes from Cordae’s mom.

Then in 2021, Naomi Osaka spoke about how Cordae had dropped everything to join her in NY for the US Open after she told him that she’d be feeling down. “He stopped everything he was doing because I FaceTimed him a couple days earlier and said I was feeling sad and lonely in the bubble. I later found out that he hopped on a plane shortly after that call and then quarantined himself for a couple days in a hotel to see me and support.” They’ve appreciated each other’s efforts to stand beside one another through thick and thin.
