Naomi Osaka delights her fans by modelling a stunning red stress as the Japanese tennis player heads out on a date with her boyfriend and Grammy-nominated rapper, Carlos Amari Brooks, as she makes full use of the off-season.
The 27-year-old has been in a relationship with Brooks, known professionally as Cordae, since 2019 and the pair share one child together, born in July 2023, meaning their schedules are very full.
Yet on December 14 they found the time to head out for a rare Saturday night to themselves and Osaka made sure she put on an impression with her outfit as she donned a small red dress, almost a corset, with flowery patterns around her waist resembling a bouquet of roses.
She combined the look with a pair of black high heels, with red bows on them, as well as a black jacket with a silver bracelet and watch on her left hand, as she made sure she carried her items in an expensive handbag.
The four-time Grand Slam winner showed off part of the date night in a carousel on Instagram that included a video of her smiling in the back of a cab with a silver necklace, before posing in a candle lit club. Another video then showed Cordae dancing in a mirror as she smiled and laughed.
When will Osaka be back on tour?
Osaka plans to be back in action for the Australian Open in January 2025, the competition that she has won twice and she will use the ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand as a warm-up test for herself.
The WTA 250 event will see her compete in the tournament for the first time in eight years and she's full of fond memories of the place, although her true focus is on making sure she competes in the first Grand Slam of the 2025 season.
"I am looking forward to just embracing the nature of Auckland," Osaka said, as per Tennis Infinity. "And of course, playing in a tournament that I have not played in for a long time.
"I am excited to return to Auckland for the ASB Classic 2025. When I was there last time, I was fortunate to go on a helicopter tour and explore the beaches which I thought were really beautiful. My other memory is that Auckland has the best salmon."
