On TikTok, Osaka responded to a comment on one of her videos that speculated she was pregnant again. "I just wanna say I'm not preggos," she stated.

In an interview with InStyle, she revealed complications, including testing positive for Group B streptococcus and experiencing a difficult and painful 12-hour labor.
