Sloane Stephens Takes Much Needed Time Off With Son Cameron as She Dabbles Amidst a Discouraging Streak on Court

“2025 will be important for just the longevity of my career. I don’t know how much longer I’m going to play, so just making sure that I enjoy it and have a good time,” Sloane Stephens stated last year. However, the 2017 US Open champion has faced a challenging start to the season. Having participated in four tournaments already, she is still seeking her first singles victory of the year. Her last singles win dates back to the first round of Wimbledon in June 2024. While Stephens hasn’t competed since the 2025 Merida Open, she recently suggested a return to the Tour at the upcoming French Open. Amidst this turbulent on-court journey, the American tennis star was recently seen enjoying quality off-court time with her stepson, Cameron.

Sloane Stephens is stepmom to Cameron, her husband Jozy Altidore’s son from a previous relationship. She affectionately calls her son her “little angel.” Interestingly, the mother-son duo was recently spotted attending an NWSL match between Angel City Football Club (ACFC) and NJ/NY Gotham FC. The former suffered their first loss of the 2025 NWSL Regular Season, falling 0-4 at home.

Interesting Fact: In 2020, tennis legend Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian joined the star-studded ownership group to establish Angel City FC, an NWSL team representing Los Angeles, CA, which officially launched in 2022.

Stephens even shared a picture of her son standing on the lush green pitch of the BMO Stadium with the caption, “Friday nights w/Cameron 🥰.” Then, in another update, she uploaded a picture of herself with the caption, “📸: Cameron.” 

Talking about her bonding with her son, last year she was also spotted celebrating National Son’s Day with Cameron. In June 2024, Stephens gave an interview with Cosmopolitan, where she spoke about their relationship, saying, “Yes, our son (Cameron) is nine and he’s great and makes me want to have more kids.“

Well, on that note, how easy or difficult has it been for this 32-year-old tennis star to make a transition to her new role as a stepmom?

According to Sloane Stephens, “I always knew I wanted to be a mom and have a big family. I love kids, so for me, becoming a stepmom was a very easy transition.“ Both Stephens and her husband have been extremely supportive of each other in their journey, but who’s Jozy Altidore, though? What are his connections with the sporting world?

Well, Altidore began his professional soccer career in 2006 at the age of 16 with the New York Bulls. He played there till 2008 before making a switch to the Spanish club Villarreal CF. Over the years, he has played for multiple big clubs, including Hull City (England), AZ (Netherlands), and Sunderland (England), and he has also been a part of Toronto FC in the MLS.

Sloane Stephens’ husband, Jozy Altidore, who plays as a striker, has represented the US men’s soccer team 115 times at the senior level and has scored 42 times. He was the US Soccer Athlete of the Year in 2013 and 2016 and also won the MLS Cup MVP Award in 2017. Yes, that’s the same year when Stephens won the US Open as well! Has he now taken a retirement from the sport, though?

Recently, Altidore also started a soccer training facility called Sogility. It constructs indoor fields in states where weather conditions are on the colder side. Other than that, he has also been seen spending time with his wife more often nowadays. How did this power couple meet each other, though?

Sloane Stephens and Jozy Altidore first met in middle school when they both attended Boca Prep International School when she was in fifth grade, and he was in seventh grade. However, since the tennis star moved away, the childhood friends didn’t reconnect until 2016, when they ran into each other at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California. Both of them later got engaged in 2019, and on January 1, 2022, they tied the knot at the St. Regis Bal Harbour in Miami Beach, Florida.

Speaking about his wife, Altidore once said, “She has such a big heart and has empathy for everyone. She amazes me every single day.” These two never fail to showcase their love for each other, and even Stephens is often seen sharing multiple adorable family moments on her social media accounts.
