Caroline Wozniacki shared glimpses from her son James' celebration, enjoying the occasion with her husband, former professional basketball player David Lee, and their daughter Olivia. Notably, James turned two on October 24, 2024.
Wozniacki and Lee’s love story began at a dinner party hosted by a mutual friend in Miami, Florida. The two started dating in 2016 before Lee proposed to Wozniacki in Bora Bora, French Polynesia, as the couple announced their engagement in November 2017. They got married on June 17, 2019, at Castiglion del Bosco in Tuscany, Italy.
The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Olivia, on June 11, 2021, followed by the arrival of their son James on October 24, 2022.
On October 25, Caroline Wozniacki offered glimpses of her son’s birthday celebration on her Instagram handle. In the background, James posed with a big smile, with a car-themed cake and blue and white balloons. One of the photos also featured Wozniacki's husband, David Lee, and their daughter Olivia.
The former world no. 1 captioned the post:
“Happy 2nd Birthday James!! ❤️ We had the best day celebrating the happiest boy in the world!💙☺️🇩🇰”
Cat Gasol, wife of former basketball star Pau Gasol, professional golfer Michelle Wie West, and journalist Jason Kennedy sent birthday wishes to James as he celebrated his birthday on Thursday.
Wozniacki, who retired from the sport in 2020, returned to professional tennis in 2023 at the Canadian Open in Montreal. In the first match of her comeback, she defeated Kimberly Birrell 6-2, 6-2 in the first round.
Caroline Wozniacki on balancing motherhood along with playing tennis
After her return to the court, Caroline Wozniacki discussed her efforts in balancing motherhood whilst dedicating time to herself and her sport. In an interview with Punto de Break in September this year, she said:
“Obviously, my kids are there every day, and I appreciate that a lot. It's the best job in the world, and I love it. I try to ensure that I remain a fully present mother while also trying to balance being the best tennis player I can be. I think that's where it can get a bit tricky sometimes,” Wozniacki said.
“My family is the most important thing to me, but at the same time, I love winning. I have to find the balance between dedicating time to myself, recovering, playing, and training as much as I can, and not feeling guilty about taking a few hours away from the kids. I think sometimes I feel guilty, but I try to manage it as best as I can,” she added.
Some of Wozniacki's best finishes this year include reaching the third round at the US Open and Wimbledon, and quarterfinals of the Indian Wells Masters and Bad Homburg Open.
