Caroline Wozniacki Announces She’s Expecting Third Child with David Lee

NEW YORK, NY — Caroline Wozniacki, the former world No. 1 tennis player, announced on Sunday, April 6, 2025, that she is expecting her third child with her husband, David Lee, a retired NBA All-Star. The joyful announcement was shared via an Instagram post featuring a family photo from a beach outing where their daughter Olivia, 3, and son James, 2, held ultrasound images of their new sibling.

“Officially switching to zone defense! Our family couldn’t be more excited to welcome baby #3 soon!” Wozniacki, 34, captioned the image, humorously referring to the upcoming challenges of parenting three young children.

The couple, who married in 2019, has celebrated their growing family since welcoming Olivia in February 2021 and James in October 2022, both during Wozniacki’s brief retirement from professional tennis. After stepping away from the sport to focus on family and manage her rheumatoid arthritis, Wozniacki made a comeback in June 2023, reaffirming her commitment to her career and family responsibilities.

Wozniacki had previously announced her retirement from tennis in December 2019, mentioning her desire to start a family with Lee, 41. In her retirement statement, she expressed, “I’ve always told myself that when the time comes that there are things away from tennis that I want to do more, then it’s time to be done.”

In a reflective post, she wrote, “Over these past three years away from the game, I got to make up for lost time with my family and became a mother. But I still have goals I want to accomplish. I want to show my kids that you can pursue your dreams no matter your age or role.”

Despite her absence from competitive play, Wozniacki participated in the 2024 Australian Open as a commentator, further hinting at her ongoing passion for the sport. Recently, she has also shared her journey and experiences as a mother with her fans on social media.

The announcement of her third child has garnered support from fellow tennis stars and friends, including former Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber, who is also expecting her second child. Wozniacki’s followers have flooded her post with congratulations and well-wishes for the expanding family.

In addition to anticipating their new arrival, Wozniacki and Lee continue to balance their careers and parenting, with Lee often expressing pride in his wife’s achievements and their shared responsibilities in raising their children.

As Wozniacki and Lee prepare for their growing family, the tennis world and fans eagerly await news of both their personal life and her professional developments in the sports arena.
