Wimbledon 2025 was supposed to be another triumph in the rising legacy of Coco Gauff. Instead, the world watched in disbelief as the 21-year-old tennis sensation crumbled in a shock second-round defeat to Ukraine’s Dayana Yastremska. But what truly sent the internet spiraling wasn’t just the loss — it was the emotional unraveling, the sudden exit of her father mid-match, and now, an explosive question hanging over it all: Is Coco Gauff pregnant?
Whispers turned into wildfire just hours after the match ended. Fans took to social media pointing out unusual signs in Coco’s recent appearances: her choice of looser clothing, a more sluggish playing style, and moments of visible fatigue on the court. One fan posted side-by-side screenshots from her early 2025 matches and the Wimbledon loss, suggesting what appeared to be a subtle bump forming beneath her kit. While these claims remain purely speculative, they’ve sparked one of the most talked-about controversies of the tournament.
The emotional weight of Gauff’s loss only added fuel to the rumors. For the first time in years, she seemed disconnected from the game — missing routine shots, holding her lower abdomen after long rallies, and looking visibly distressed in the final set. The most shocking moment came when her father, Corey Gauff — her ever-present coach and emotional anchor — stood up and walked out without a word. No explanation was offered, and Gauff was left to finish the match alone.
Later, during her tear-filled press conference, Coco said softly, “He left because it hurt him to see me like that. He wasn’t angry… he just couldn’t watch.” She didn’t mention the rumors or the speculation, but her emotional fragility sent fans into a frenzy of concern — and curiosity.
Many are now asking whether her loss had less to do with form and more to do with a life-altering secret. If the pregnancy rumors are true, it would explain the sudden drop in intensity and the careful pacing in her matches. It might also explain the emotional family tension playing out behind the scenes — a dynamic that boiled over on one of the biggest stages in sport.
Despite the buzz, neither Coco nor her team has addressed the swirling claims. Silence has only deepened the mystery. While some fans are calling for transparency, others have stepped in to defend her privacy, reminding the public that even world-class athletes are entitled to personal lives — and personal battles.
Tennis legends like Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka have shown that motherhood and sport can coexist, even at the highest levels. If Coco Gauff is indeed expecting, she wouldn’t be the first — but she would be the youngest of her generation to walk that path under such an intense spotlight.
For now, the world waits. As Wimbledon rolls on without one of its brightest stars, the question lingers like a shadow over Centre Court: Was Coco Gauff playing for more than just victory — was she playing for two?
