In Pictures: Naomi Osaka explores streets of home country Japan as she continues tennis layoff due to pregnancy

Naomi Osaka, who is expecting her first child with rapper Cordae, shared an image of herself baring her baby bump while exploring the streets of Japan.

Osaka withdrew from this year's Australian Open on January 8 without citing any reasons, drawing a lot of flak online. The Australian Open confirmed in a tweet that the 2019 and 2021 champion would not play in Melbourne this year.

"Naomi Osaka has withdrawn from the Australian Open. We will miss her at #AO2023," the tweet read.

A few days later, on January 11, she made a surprise announcement that she was expecting her first child.

"Can’t wait to get back on the court but here’s a little life update for 2023," Osaka captioned the post.

Since then, the 25-year-old has been enjoying her time off from tennis. Osaka was seen flaunting her baby bump and exploring the streets of her home country, Japan, where she is currently vacationing.

The four-time Grand Slam winner shared images of her trip on Instagram and captioned the post with an emoji of the Japanese flag.

Naomi Osaka teams up with Modern Health to create guided meditation for kids

Osaka, who is currently expecting her first child, has teamed up with a mental health and wellness platform Modern Health to release guided meditation audio for children.

This is not the 25-year-old's first tryst in the children's business arena. In December last year, Osaka released a children's book, 'The Way Champs Play', which aims to teach kids teamwork, being kind and having fun in any activity they decide to take on.

On Tuesday, March 21 Osaka took to Instagram to announce her collaboration with Modern Health.

"’Ive teamed up with @modernhealthco to create guided meditations for kids. I’m excited for my child and all children to have access to meditations to help them build healthy habits early. I’m glad that I’m able to help make something like this accessible to kids all over. Link in bio to listen and learn with the kids in your life," Osaka captioned the post.

Osaka recorded the guided meditation in her own voice, and aims to teach kids to prioritize their mental health and inculcate good habits early on in their lives.
