Here’s everything you need to know about Caroline Wozniacki’s children, family, personal life and more
Former World No.1 Caroline Wozniacki is a champion both on and off the court. The former World No.1 retired from Tennis in 2020 due to pregnancy and three years, two kids later – she is all set for a grand comeback.
The 2018 Australian Open Champion has announced that she will be back on the WTA tour this year. This gives us the perfect opportunity to take a closer look at the family of this champion mother and tennis player.
Caroline Wozniacki has two children with her current husband David Lee. Her daughter is named Olivia Wozniacki Lee while her son is named James Wozniacki Lee. Wozniacki gave birth to her daughter, Olivia Wozniacki Lee on June 11, 2021. About a year later on June 19, 2022, the Dane announced on her Instagram account that she was expecting her second child. On October 24, 2022, she gave birth to her son, James Wozniacki Lee. Olivia is now two years old while James will soon turn one.
Wozniacki was previously married to professional golfer Rory McIlroy. The couple got engaged on New Year’s Eve in 2013 but called off their wedding in May 2014, just days after the wedding invitations were sent out. After her split with McIlroy, Wozniacki dated several high-profile individuals. She was in a relationship with American professional basketball player David Lee, who played for the Golden State Warriors in the NBA. They announced their engagement in November 2017 and got married in June 2019. The couple frequently shares their personal life moments on social media.
David Lee and Caroline Wozniacki got engaged in 2017 and subsequently tied the knot in 2019. He is the father of Olivia Wozniacki Lee and James Wozniacki Lee. Lee is a former professional basketball player who had a successful career in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was born on April 29, 1983, in St. Louis, Missouri, United States.
Lee entered the 2005 NBA Draft and was selected by the New York Knicks with the 30th overall pick in the first round. He spent five seasons with the Knicks from 2005 to 2010 and established himself as a productive power forward. In the 2009-2010 season, he averaged a double-double with 20.2 points and 11.7 rebounds per game, earning his first NBA All-Star selection.
After his tenure with the Knicks, Lee was traded to the Golden State Warriors in a sign-and-trade deal in July 2010. He played for the Warriors for five seasons, from 2010 to 2015, and became an integral part of their team. Lee helped the Warriors achieve significant success, including their championship win in 2015. However, he missed the majority of the playoffs that year due to injury.
Following his time with the Warriors, Lee played one season with the Boston Celtics in 2015-2016 before joining the San Antonio Spurs for the 2016-2017 season. He retired from professional basketball after the 2016-2017 season.
Caroline Wozniacki is all set to make a comeback to professional Tennis at the age of 33. The mother of two had retired from the sport back in 2020 but she has decided to come out of retirement later this year. She is expected to return to the sport during the North American hard-court season in Montreal, before making a Grand Slam comeback at the US Open.
Wozniacki revealed her decision during an exclusive interaction with the Vogue magazine. The 2018 Australian Open Champion is confident that she has what it takes to take on the best of women’s Tennis.
She cited the examples of Williams, Azarenka and Kim Clijsters, who all returned to the sport as mothers and reached major finals. Wozniacki particularly wants to prove to herself and other women that they can have a family while achieving professional success at the same time.
