Caroline Wozniacki Displays Athletic Physique on Luxury Caribbean Yacht Holiday
Former world number one tennis player Caroline Wozniacki has showcased her remarkably athletic physique in a series of photographs taken during a luxury yacht holiday in the Caribbean. The 35-year-old Danish star, who has not officially retired but has been absent from the WTA Tour since the 2024 US Open, was pictured wearing a striking red bikini while posing on the deck in the pristine waters of Saint Barthelemy.
Family Holiday with Former NBA Star Husband
Wozniacki enjoyed this tropical getaway with her husband, former NBA All-Star power forward David Lee, alongside several social media influencers. The couple, who tied the knot in June 2019 after a two-year engagement, are parents to three young children: four-year-old daughter Olivia, three-year-old son James, and baby Max, who was welcomed last year. This holiday also served as a celebration for designer Evelyn Menin's 40th birthday, highlighting the luxurious lifestyle the sporting power couple maintains.
Unlikely Return to Professional Tennis
Despite her evident physical condition, which appears superior to most athletes, Wozniacki has expressed strong doubts about returning to professional tennis. In a candid interview on the Nothing Major Podcast last year, she stated, 'No. I think it's a no. If it were up to David, he would point out that I have my protected ranking and can play the big tournaments.' She elaborated that while she maintains a protected ranking allowing entry into major tournaments, the demands of motherhood make a comeback improbable.
'I still have a long time to decide. If I think I can get back in shape, never say never. But with three small children, it's already a full-time job,' Wozniacki explained. She emphasized her current priorities, saying, 'I have three small children. I want to travel. It's been fun doing TV and I really enjoy it. So I think that's my next step. I like to work a few weeks a year and then relax with my family. It's the perfect balance.' This approach allows her to enjoy television work while dedicating ample time to her family.
Past Relationship with Rory McIlroy
The article also revisits Wozniacki's highly publicized past relationship with golf superstar Rory McIlroy. The sporting super-couple were together from 2011 to 2014, becoming engaged after a New Year's Eve proposal in Sydney. Wozniacki had enthusiastically announced their engagement on social media, posting, 'Happy New Year everyone! Rory and I started 2014 with a bang! I said YES!!!!' Wedding invitations had already been distributed when McIlroy abruptly ended the engagement.
McIlroy released a statement at the time, reading, 'There is no right way to end a relationship that has been so important to two people. The problem is mine. The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realise that I wasn’t ready for all that marriage entails.' He added, 'I wish Caroline all the happiness she deserves and thank her for the great times we’ve had.'
Wozniacki later revealed her shock at the breakup's handling, telling interviewer Graham Bensinger, 'I was shocked. I thought at least I would get a face-to-face or something, but there was nothing. It was a phone call, and I did not hear from him again. It kind of just ended.' She noted the public nature of the split, saying, 'It was very hard because he made it very public from the start. He put out a press release and all of that so I didn't have a choice, it just got put in my face.'
In contrast, McIlroy claimed in an ESPN interview that the decision was mutual, stating, 'It is quite a difficult time for Caroline and myself, and the statement really said it all. It was mutual, and we both thought it was the best for us, the best for both of us. Time to move on, and I’ve said all that I need to say.' The breakup was reportedly preceded by tension after Wozniacki posted a photo of McIlroy sleeping, which he found upsetting.
Current Life and Future Plans
Today, Wozniacki appears content with her life away from professional tennis, focusing on her family with David Lee and exploring opportunities in television. Her Caribbean holiday photos underscore her continued athleticism, even as she embraces a new chapter prioritizing motherhood and selective work engagements. The former Australian Open winner's journey from the tennis courts to family life and media work illustrates a successful transition, marked by luxury travels and cherished moments with her loved ones.
