Caroline Wozniacki announces major personal news one year on from ex Rory McIlroy's divorce drama
Wozniacki, 35, shared the heartwarming news on Instagram three months after revealing that she and Lee, 42, were expecting another baby.
The loved-up couple, who tied the knot back in June 2019 after getting engaged two years earlier, already have a three-year-old daughter, Olivia, and a two-year-old son, James.
And the former Australian Open champion announced Saturday that they have expanded their family again following the birth of son Max.
Alongside an adorable photo of her two other children holding the newborn baby in their arms, Wozniacki wrote on Instagram: 'Max Wozniacki Lee, born July 26, 2025! Mom and baby are healthy and our family couldnt be happier!'
Wozniacki's latest child with Lee, a former NBA All-Star power forward who played for the New York Knicks and Golden State Warriors amongst others, comes almost a year on from ex-fiance Rory McIlroy 's shocking divorce drama.

A post shared by Caroline Wozniacki (@carowozniacki)
McIlroy was in a relationship with the Grand Slam winner for three years before dramatically breaking off their engagement in 2014 after admitting he was not ready for marriage. Three years later he did tie the knot with current wife Erica Stoll.
Last year, however, the five-time major champion filed to divorce Stoll after serving her with papers at their home in Florida, only to U-turn on that proposal less than a month later.
Rumors suggested that McIlroy had been having some form of a relationship with CBS Sports' Amanda Balionis while they were both out on tour. None of these rumors have been proven and neither Balionis nor McIlroy have outright addressed them.
By June, less than a full month after Stoll was served, the filing was withdrawn and the couple have remained together.
A sporting super-couple, McIlroy and Wozniacki were together between 2011 and 2013 before he ended the relationship when he said he was not ready for marriage.
The duo had sent out wedding invitations after a New Year's Eve proposal in Sydney and Wozniacki posted: 'Happy New Year everyone! Rory and I started 2014 with a bang! I said YES!!!!'
But only months later, McIlroy changed his mind. At the time, he put out a statement, 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.
'I wish Caroline all the happiness she deserves and thank her for the great times we've had. I will not be saying anything more about our relationship in any setting.'
Wozniacki has since admitted to being stunned at the way in which the break-up was handled.
She previously told 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.

Jamie Lee Curtis reveals the real reason behind the 22-year wait for Freaky Friday sequel
Jamie Lee Curtis has revealed the real reason behind the long 22-year wait for a sequel to Freaky Friday. The American actress, 66, starred alongside Lindsay Lohan in the now-smash hit 2003 comedy, which sees the two characters switch bodies, with hilarity ensuing. Fans had long hoped for a sequel to the iconic comedy but had an agonising wait as Freakier Friday is only now hitting cinemas - a whole 22 years on from the original. Now, Jamie Lee has revealed why there was such a long gap between the two releases as she admitted she has long had her eye on a follow-up movie. Appearing on Wednesday's The One Show, Jamie revealed they had to wait until Lindsay, 39, was old enough to have a teenage child for the sequel premise to work. 'The truth is that Lindsay had to be old enough to have a 15-year-old daughter, people would ask me about the movie over and over again,' she shared. 'And finally someone in Australia said, ''well she is'' and I was like ''what do you mean?'' because I know her as this young girl so I don't know how old she is. 'So someone told me and I was, like ''Oh! well maybe we can make the movie. Let's go!''' Lindsay was just 15 years old when she first portrayed Anna Coleman in Freaky Friday alongside Jamie Lee, who played her on-screen mother Tess Coleman. It follows the bickering mother and daughter after a Chinese restaurant fortune cookie mishap causes them to switch bodies, forcing them to live the other's life. Despite barely having been able to see eye-to-eye, the magical switch eventually allows them to see things from the other's point of view. The sequel will see the iconic pairing switch places once again, though this time there is quadruple chaos in store. Anna (Lindsay) is preparing to tie the knot with to Eric Davies (Manny Jacinto), but things are proving difficult as her teenage daughter Harper (Julia Butters) despises Eric's teenager Lily (Sophia Hammons). Harper highlights her disgust as she's heard reciting mock wedding vows, in which she brands her soon-to-be step-sister 'a little demon thing with an obnoxious accent'. They had to wait until Lindsay, 39, was old enough to have a teenage child for the sequel premise to work [pictured Lindsay's on-screen daughter Julia Butters and Sophia Hammons] A flash forward to Anna's bachelorette party sees her and mother Tess Coleman sit down with a fortune teller (Vanessa Bayer), who warns them they may learn another lesson by 'walking in each other's paths'. Anna and Tess then find themselves caught up in yet another 'freaky' body swap incident - only this time, it's not just between the two of them. The next morning, Anna discovers she's swapped bodies with daughter Harper, while Tess, aka 'Grandma', is now in the body of Anna's step-daughter Lily. Quadruple chaos then ensues as the foursome try to navigate their new roles with just days to go until the wedding. Chad Michael Murray is also returning to his role as Jake as the two teenage girls also hatch a plot to try and get Anna to reunite with her first love amid the wedding chaos.

Blow for Stephen Colbert's ego as canceled talk show host Samantha Bee says his axing was 'no brainer'
Canceled late-night host Samantha Bee has said Stephen Colbert's Late Show was terminated for 'hemorrhaging' money and viewers, in a 'no-brainer' move by CBS. Bee, 55, who had hosted TBS's 'Full Frontal with Samantha Bee' before it was canceled in 2022, gave her two cents on the decision by the broadcaster to end Colbert's show. Speaking on the Breaking Bread with Tom Papa podcast, Bee said she believes the show was failing and that CBS parent company Paramount was also currying favor with Trump in order to gain federal approval for their merger deal with Skydance when they axed Colbert. 'I think both things are true. It definitely was hemorrhaging money. These legacy shows are hemorrhaging money with no real end to that in sight, people are just not tuning in', she said. Bee added: 'People are literally on their phones all the time for one thing, so they actually don't necessarily need a recap of the day's events. They're very well-versed in what has happened. 'It is also true that when the president of the United States has to give his sign off on a corporate merger, the thing you can't do is make jokes about him. 'He's a thin-skinned idiot and we know he's like a pernicious cancer and he cares about that stuff', she later said the move to axe Colbert was a 'no brainer'. CBS said the move to axe Colbert was due to low viewership and a decline in profits, but critics have echoed Bee's sentiment that the network crumbled under pressure from Trump. Bee said she believes the show was failing and that CBS parent company Paramount was also currying favor with Trump to greenlight their merger with Skydance CBS said the move to axe Colbert was due to low viewership and a decline in profits Paramount decided to settle for $16 million on a suit over deceptive editing of a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris filed by Trump. Colbert then used the term 'big fat bribe' to describe the settlement on-air, two days later it was announced that his show would disappear from screens. Paramount was planning a merger with media company Skydance at the time and needed the approval of Trump's Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The merger clears the way for an $8.4 billion sale of some of the most prominent names in entertainment, including CBS, Paramount Pictures, and Nickelodeon. 'Insiders' immediately maintained to publications like Puck and Variety the top-rated show was canceled due to being a money pit what was losing $40million a year. Colbert earns between $15 million and $20 million a year, with his staff likely making up most of the rest of the cost. Following the announcement of The Late Show's cancellation, Trump took to Truth Social to gloat over the news in a celebratory post. 'I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,' he wrote. Critics believe that the network crumbled under pressure from Trump and his administration in axing Colbert The merger deal was approved by the FCC last week. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said the agency's review of the proposed merger was not connected to the lawsuit. Carr said he welcomed 'Skydance's commitment to make significant changes at the once storied CBS broadcast network. 'In particular, Skydance has made written commitments to ensure that the new company's programming embodies a diversity of viewpoints from across the political and ideological spectrum.' Carr also hailed what he called a victory in 'the FCC's efforts to eliminate invidious forms of DEI discrimination.' The FCC voted 2-1 to approve the deal, with Democratic FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez dissenting.
