Even though Naomi Osaka is very active on social media, she has never really shared much about her daughter. She likes to interact with her fans about her professional and personal life, but always keeps a side of her life away from the internet, especially when it comes to her kid.

However, she finally decided to open up about her life as a mother during an interview. She shared a lot of things during the interview about herself while she was pregnant. Most importantly, she disclosed the name of her daughter as well. As Naomi’s fans await her comeback to tennis, this new side of hers will surely give them something to rejoice about.

Becoming a mother is truly life-changing, and it must be the same for Naomi as well. The 25-year-old tennis star became a mother to a daughter a few months back. She has, however, never revealed even the name of her daughter to the world. Well, up until now, she didn’t.

During an interview with ESPN, Naomi shared details about her little one. She even shared the name of her daughter which is ‘Shai’. Further, she added, “Shai means God’s gift and I think that’s why I wanted her to feel like she was a gift to me and her dad [rapper Cordae]. She’s spreading a lot of joy already, so it’s very exciting.

Having a kid means everything to a parent. But the journey to becoming a mother is never easy. And Naomi went through the same thing. During the same interview, she also talked about how she struggled while she was pregnant.
