Osaka's journey into motherhood has been a transformative experience. Undoubtedly, being a celebrity mom is no easy feat, especially with critics left and right. However, Osaka has learned to stop caring about what others think and instead focus on herself.

In the process of becoming the best mother she could be, Osaka came out as a stronger and more powerful person. "I can put my foot down a lot more now," she said. "People talk about childbirth, but it's different once you experience it. I just feel like I can do anything, and nothing will bother me."

The tennis champion shares baby Shai with her boyfriend, rapper YBN Cordae. Shai was born in Los Angeles in July, with not much detail disclosed to the public. YBN Cordae later revealed his daughter's name while performing at Canada's Calgary Stampede.
