Caroline Wozniacki and ex-Knick David Lee welcome third baby
Congratulations are in order for Caroline Wozniacki and her husband, retired NBA forward David Lee.
The Grand Slam winner, 35, announced Saturday that she and Lee, 42, welcomed their third child together, a son named Max, who arrived over the weekend.
“Max Wozniacki Lee, born July 26, 2025! Mom and baby are healthy and our family couldnt be happier!” Wozniacki captioned an adorable Instagram post that featured the couple’s newborn son being held by their two eldest children, daughter Olivia, 4, and son James, 2.
Wozniacki and Lee first revealed in April that they were expanding their family, with the 2018 Australian Open winner exclaiming in her pregnancy announcement, “Officially switching to zone defense! Our family couldn’t be more excited to welcome baby #3 soon!”
The Danish tennis star shared the exciting news just months after she reached the fourth round of the 2024 U.S. Open.
Wozniacki, who reached the final in 2009 and 2014, ultimately fell to Brazil’s Beatriz Haddad Maia last September.
The former world No. 1 returned to the sport in 2023 after a three-year hiatus.
“Three years ago, having achieved almost everything I’d ever set out to do, I walked away from the professional tour,” Wozniacki previously told Vogue. “I wanted to start a family, and I needed a break. I had no idea how long that break would last.”
Wozniacki stunned the tennis world in December 2019 with her retirement bombshell.
She wed Lee, formerly of the Knicks, in June of that year.
“Best weekend of my life,” Wozniacki gushed of the intimate affair in Italy, where Serena Williams served as a bridesmaid.
Lee, who also played for the Warriors, Celtics, Spurs and Mavericks, popped the question to Wozniacki in 2017 while vacationing in Bora Bora.
“He set up this sunset cruise with a dinner on a private island, and on the cruise, there was this guy with a small guitar playing music and all of a sudden, I saw David panic, and he goes to his backpack and starts searching for something, and I said: ‘What’s happening?!’ and he’s like, ‘Oh, nothing!’ Then, he grabs the box with the ring and he goes down on one knee, and he proposes,” she recalled to Vogue.
Wozniacki was first linked to Lee in 2015 following her split from former fiancé Rory McIlroy.
Lee, a first-round pick in 2005, played 12 seasons in the NBA before retiring in 2017.
