Naomi Osaka is praising her boyfriend Cordae on his new album. The couple has been together for three years and during that time fans have witnessed them shower each other with support such as the rapper attending Naomi’s tennis matches to now the four-time Grand Slam champion showing love to the Grammy-nominated artist's album Bird’s Eye View on social media.


The 24-year-old posted a photo on Instagram of the couple looking cozy together on an outdoor patio along with a sweet caption.

“Getting closer to someone and seeing how much love and dedication they put into their craft is truly inspiring,” she wrote.

“Makes you feel like some people are born to do certain things, @cordae you’re a star and a light, quite literally brighten up every room you walk in (or maybe it’s your hair lol).

“Congratulations on your 2nd album, proud of you ❤️.”

Cordae, who is also 24, responded, “My MUHFUCKIN LADY !!!! I LOVE U 2 DEATH !! U TRULY MY RIDE OR DIE BONNIE AND CLYDE JUST WAY MORE FLY.”

The couple is known to be lowkey, but they opened up about their relationship during a February 2021 interview with GQ for their "Modern Lovers" issue.

“We were dating for almost a year before people knew about us,” Cordae said. “So we kind of move very reclusively. We don’t really post intimate moments, because I feel as though they’re sacred. A relationship is really a sacred thing. Once you let outside influences get into it, it becomes less sacred.”

The couple had their first date at a Clippers game and since then has been photographed together at other games including Naomi’s memorable win at the 2019 U.S. Open, which the rapper revealed was the first time he ever attended a tennis match. He also mentioned that the tennis star goes on tour with him.

“... It’s like she’s the only girl in the crew. You know how a tour bus goes: It’s me, the band, security, the homies, tour management, lights, sound engineer. You know what I’m saying? She’ll just take time out of, you know, whatever she got going on training and things of that nature to just come with us on tour for, like, two weeks at a time.”

Ah, young love!

Aries-April-2025-monthly-horoscopes

April is a month to slow down and to fully grasp what has been. The month starts in fiery Aries Season, but we are also in the thick of Retrograde Season as we begin the month as well. Thankfully, Mercury finally goes direct on April 7, after being retrograde mid-March, and communication matters are clearing up. This is a month of mental clarity, a fresh start, and not being afraid to dream a little bigger.

On April 12, there is a Full Moon in Libra, and this Full Moon brings relationship and financial matters full circle. This is the time to let go of what doesn’t make you feel balanced or in harmony and to create space for more peace to enter your life. Venus goes direct in Pisces on the same day, after being retrograde since March 1, and love is healing. With Venus now direct, there are more opportunities for commitment and longevity in love, and there is overall a greater feeling of romance, receptivity, and compassion in the air now.

Accountability Time: Let's Stop Calling It A 'Mistake' When It Was A 'Choice'

Several months ago, I literally stumbled across a video where someone who I’ve known for years (and have had to distance myself from due to the topic for today) was conducting a seminar on relational healing. I honestly could only stomach about five minutes of what they were saying because one of the things that they continued to mention was the harm that they had done to others was a “mistake” — although many of their same “mistakes” took place over years…decades even.

Y’all, I’ve gotta admit that I found their words to be a bit triggering — not so much because I was surprised that they were still like a broken record when it comes to refusing to take real accountability for their actions; it was more that I hear people say often, especially when they are called out on some of their continual poor habits and patterns, that what they did was a mistake when actually it was a choice — a conscious choice.
