Their relationship began privately, as Cordae had disclosed in a previous interview. They dated for almost a year before making their relationship public. The rapper emphasized their preference for keeping intimate moments private, suggesting that once these moments become public, they lose their sacredness.
The couple, who started seeing each other in 2019, embraced parenthood with the birth of their daughter, Shai, in July 2023. However, social media posts by Osaka had sparked breakup rumours months before she officially confirmed the split. In September, Osaka tweeted about “the art of loving yourself,” which many perceived as a sign of their separation.
While Naomi Osaka and Cordae have parted ways, their focus remains on co-parenting their daughter. Both seem committed to their paths, with Osaka looking forward to what the future holds.
