Coco Gauff hijacks mother Candi's phone to share her personal mirror selfie without permission

Coco Gauff playfully took over her mother Candi Gauff’s phone to post a mirror selfie of herself in an all-black outfit on social media without her knowing. Candi was in Australia, cheering on Coco as she competed in the 2025 United Cup.

On Wednesday, January 8, Candi shared five Instagram stories, four of which showcased her daughter's quirky expressions.

In the first story, Gauff was seen pouting, while in the second, the American tennis pro stuck her tongue out. The third story featured the 20-year-old with her eyes wide open, sporting a shocked expression, accompanied by the caption:

“I swerve bend that corner….”

Breaking the streak, the fourth story shifted focus to her mother, who posted a mirror selfie in a stunning all-black outfit with the caption:

“...WoAAhhh.”

With all of Candi's confusing stories, her fans' curiosity finally got some answers in the last one. In it, Coco Gauff confessed to her mischief by sharing a close-up picture of herself with the caption:

“I took her phone. Don’t snitch on me bye!”
