The announcement came via Wozniacki’s official Instagram account, where she posted a tender photo of her two older children, Olivia and James, gently cradling their newborn brother. The caption read: “Max Wozniacki Lee, born July 26, 2025! Mom and baby are healthy and our family couldn’t be happier!”
