Caroline Wozniacki Surprises Fans with Baby No. 3!

Caroline Wozniacki and David Lee are getting ready to play a triples game.

The Danish tennis star and the ex-NBA athlete, who have Olivia (aged 3) and James (aged 2), announced they’re welcoming another member into their family.

Here I am, thrilled beyond words, announcing our transition to a family of five! On April 6th, we shared the news on Instagram, accompanied by a heartwarming beach photo featuring us and our ultrasound images. Baby #3 is on the way, and we’re positively buzzing with excitement!

Caroline, who is 34 years old, and David, aged 41, exchanged vows in the year 2019 at Castiglion del Bosco in Italy. Approximately 120 family members and friends were present to witness their beginning of a new journey together. Notable attendees included tennis superstar Serena Williams, who served as a bridesmaid, professional tennis player Angelique Kerber, NBA players Pau Gasol and Harrison Barnes, and Bachelor host Jesse Palmer.

In the same year, the tennis pro declared her intention to step down from the game after playing at the 2020 Australian Open.

Caroline posted on Instagram, “I’ve been a professional athlete since I turned 15. Over these years, I’ve lived an incredible first part of my life.” Sharing a photo of herself at 15 on the court, she reflected on her journey.

In 2018, when I embarked on this new adventure with David and was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, I recognized that there were still other aspirations I yearned to fulfill in my life.

Caroline added, “For a long time, I’ve thought that when the right moment arrives, I have other pursuits outside of tennis that I wish to explore more deeply. Now seems to be the appropriate time for me to move on.” In essence, she has come to realize in recent months that there are many other aspects of life she yearns to fulfill off the court.

Marrying David has been a cherished ambition of mine, and building a family with him while exploring the globe and advocating for Rheumatoid Arthritis awareness (an upcoming project) are all deeply important to me. Therefore, today I am excited to share that I will be stepping away from professional tennis.

In just under two years, this pair transformed into a family of five, with the arrival of their daughter Olivia in February 2021 and their son James the next year in October.

It’s no surprise that after some time, Caroline found herself drawn back to her beloved passion, as she declared in June 2023 that she was planning a comeback to the sport.

For the last three years, I’ve been enjoying time with my family, becoming a mother of two lovely children whom I am incredibly thankful for. However, there are still aspirations I wish to achieve. I want to demonstrate to my kids that age and role don’t limit you from chasing your dreams. As a family, we’ve made the decision to move forward. I’m ready to return to play, and I am filled with excitement!

Born as LeBron James Jr. on October 6, 2004, Bronny James played high school basketball at Chatsworth Sierra Canyon, located within the San Fernando Valley. After completion of his high school education, he moved on to attend the University of Southern California.

Despite the NBA schedule frequently preventing LeBron from attending all of his son’s games, he has made considerable efforts to witness Bronny perform. For instance, on one off-day, he even rented a plane to watch Sierra Canyon play against his former high school, St. Vincent-St. Mary in Akron, Ohio.

LeBron shared with reporters that he will be going to watch his son play, not just any game, but against his old college team. He described the situation as incredibly moving, almost like a full circle coming together, and simply unimaginable.

In June 2024, Bronny got selected for the Los Angeles Lakers, a momentous occasion because it meant he and LeBron became the initial pair of father and son to simultaneously play in the NBA.

 

Additionally, who else is part of the illustrious Sierra Canyon all-star team? None other than Zaire Wade, the firstborn son of the retired Miami Heat star (and former teammate of LeBron James), Dwyane Wade.

Zaire, who joined there in December 2019 from Florida, expressed to Yahoo! Sports that they need to accept it due to the extraordinary focus being placed on their team. “There are cameras following us wherever we go. I’ve always had a lot of attention, but this is something else. This takes things to another level.

Nevertheless, discontented with the minimal game time he received, Zaire made a declaration on Instagram in April 2020 that he would be moving to Brewster Academy, located in Wolfeboro, Florida.

2021 saw Zaire selected as the tenth overall pick in the NBA G League draft, where he joined the Salt Lake City Stars. Prior to this, he had a stint with Cape Town Tigers of the Basketball Africa League. In April 2024, he signed with a team from the ASEAN Basketball League.

 

The former football legend has a daughter, Cha’iel Johnson, who could potentially outshine him now. At just 12 years old, she made her mark by competing in track and field at the 2017 AAU Junior Olympics, even winning the girls’ 800-meter run.

Prior to attending the University of Kentucky’s athletic team, she competed for St. Thomas Aquinas High School located in Florida.

 

The third-born child of an NBA Hall of Famer, standing at 6 feet 10 inches tall, previously played basketball for UCLA, but was forced to stop due to a heart condition that necessitated surgery.

Following his absence from the California-based university during the 2018-19 academic year, he moved on to Louisiana State University. There, just outside the LSU Basketball Training Facility, stands a massive 900-pound bronze statue of Shaq as a tribute to one of its esteemed alumni.

Upon my triumphant graduation from LSU, I embarked on an exciting new journey by joining the NBA G League Ignite, a dynamic developmental basketball league within the NBA G League, in the year of 2022.

 

In this image, you see Shaq’s daughter, who stands at 6 feet 2 inches tall (just like her brother Shareef O’Neal), revealed her enrollment at LSU in 2020, planning to join her sibling in representing the university in college basketball.

As I stand on the brink of a new chapter in my life, one of the toughest choices for someone my age is transitioning from high school to college. Yet, I feel prepared and eager to embrace the unknown challenges that lie ahead. It’s hard to believe that I would ever say this, but here goes: I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining Shareef O’Neal as a student-athlete at LSU! For the next four years, I am honored to call myself a Tiger. I cannot express enough gratitude for this incredible opportunity.

Later on, she joined the Texas Southern University basketball team for the 2021-2022 season, having moved there.

 

In her academic years at Sierra Canyon, the oldest child of two-time NBA All-Star Zack Randolph played basketball with Izela Arenas, who is also a star’s offspring (daughter of Gilbert Arenas), in the same team.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times in December 2020, Randolph stated that he played at Michigan State under coach Tom Izzo. He described Izzo as being tough and demanding, adding that the boys could handle such treatment, but girls needed a softer approach. He admitted to having a particular affection for the girls, as they would often appeal to him with phrases like, “Dad, I’m trying.

Mackenly mentioned that she had defeated her father on three separate occasions during one-on-one matches, adding humorously, “He doesn’t pay much attention to defense.

In 2019, the son standing at 6 feet 3 inches, who is the son of an NFL Hall of Famer, decided to join Florida Atlantic University as a preferred walk-on. Throughout most of his life, Terique had been playing basketball, but switched to football during his teenage years. After high school, he began his athletic career at Contra Costa Community College before transferring to another institution.

After his college football career, Terique signed with the San Francisco 49ers’ practice squad.

A student from Sierra Canyon High School was a starter throughout his entire tenure and claimed two state championships. Later, he represented Vanderbilt in college sports, ultimately securing a dual contract with the LA Lakers in the year 2022.

In 2024, I was fortunate enough to secure a two-way contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, following my time playing for their affiliate team, the South Bay Lakers.

Or:

After a short tenure with the South Bay Lakers, the Grizzlies’ affiliate team, I landed a two-way deal with the Memphis Grizzlies in 2024.

As a die-hard fan, I can attest that this legendary figure, once a dominant force with the Chicago Bulls and a five-time NBA champion, is many remarkable things. Among those wonders, he’s a father too!

As a lifestyle expert, I’d share it this way: In my personal journey, my son, often known as DJ, excelled in both basketball and football during his high school years at Corona del Mar High School in the vibrant city of Newport Beach, California. Post-graduation, he continued his athletic career, playing forward at Washington State University. More recently, in 2023, he made a move to the University of Southern California, expanding his horizons and continuing to grow both on and off the court.

In 2017, following a match, his high school coach, Ryan Schachter, commented to the Orange County Register that he was one of the less celebrated or unrecognized players based in Southern California.

After his college career, DJ joined Capital City Go-Go of the NBA G League in 2024.

Despite DJ, Dennis’ son, pursuing basketball like his father, his daughter, Trinity Rodman, forged a unique path in the realm of soccer. When the COVID-19 pandemic halted her freshman year with the Washington State Cougars, she opted to turn pro and signed with the Washington Spirit in 2021, followed by joining the United States women’s national soccer team in 2022.

In 2024, Trinity won Olympic gold as part of Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

 

It’s perfectly appropriate that golf’s Greatest of All Time has a son who shows incredible talent on the green. Charlie Woods, just 11 years old, made his televised golf appearance at the same event as his father at the 2020 PNC Championship.

When asked if he had been practicing his swing before their upcoming father-son outing, the 15-time major champion responded, “I haven’t spent any effort on it. Frankly, I’m not concerned about my game. My main focus is to ensure that Charlie has a fantastic time and gets to fully enjoy this experience.
