Tennis star Naomi Osaka and rapper Cordae have called it quits after five years. The breakup was announced on Osaka’s Instagram story on Monday. The couple share a 1-year-old daughter, Shai. “Just wanted to say that Cordae and I are no longer in a relationship. No bad blood at all, he’s a great person and an awesome dad,” Osaka wrote. “Honestly really glad our paths crossed because my daughter is my biggest blessing and I was able to grow a lot from our experiences together.” The news comes less than a week before the Australian Open, where the four-time Grand Slam champion is set to compete. While playing in Auckland, Osaka suffered from an alleged abdominal injury this weekend, retiring from the game. “I had a lot of fun playing here and I’m really sorry about how it ended but I hope that you enjoyed the tennis that we did play,” Osaka said at the end of the match. “I’m just really grateful to be here.”
