Ons Jabeur, one of the most beloved figures in women’s tennis, has shared heartwarming news with her fans: she and her husband, Karim Kammoun, are expecting their first child. The announcement came via social media, where Jabeur posted a message filled with emotion and humor, revealing that she will be stepping away from the court for a while.
“Took a little break to reset and recharge… Turns out, we’ve been planning the cutest comeback ever,” Jabeur wrote. “The court will have to wait a little longer, because soon… we’ll be welcoming our tiniest teammate. Baby boy joining the team in April.”
A pause in competition, not in spirit
The news means Jabeur will be taking a break from the WTA Tour, but her message made it clear that this is a joyful pause rather than a farewell. Known for her creativity on court and her warmth off it, Jabeur has long been a fan favorite, and the tennis world has responded with an outpouring of congratulations and support.
A growing legacy beyond tennis
Jabeur’s influence extends far beyond her results. As the highest-ranked Arab woman in tennis history and a trailblazer for North African athletes, she has inspired countless fans across the globe. Her pregnancy announcement adds another layer to her story—one of resilience, joy, and balance between personal and professional life.
While the exact timeline for her return to competition remains open, Jabeur’s message suggests she’s already looking ahead to the future, both as a mother and as a competitor.
