Ons Jabeur, the Tunisian tennis star who reached the Wimbledon singles final in 2022 and 2023, has announced the birth of her first child. The 31-year-old former world No. 2 took to Instagram on Tuesday to share the joyful news, posting a photograph of herself alongside her husband and their newborn son.

In her Instagram post, Jabeur wrote: “A tiny miracle, a lifetime of love. Welcoming our baby boy, Elyan Kammoun 20/04/2026.” The post quickly garnered thousands of congratulatory messages from fans and fellow tennis players alike.
Career Highlights
Jabeur, who also made the final of the US Open in 2022, has been a trailblazer for African and Arab tennis. She confirmed last July that she would “take a step back” from the sport, and later revealed she was pregnant in November 2025. Her husband, Karim Kammoun, has been a constant support throughout her career.
The birth of Elyan marks a new chapter for Jabeur, who has often spoken about her desire to start a family. While she has not yet announced any plans for a return to professional tennis, fans are hopeful that the new mother will grace the courts again in the future.
