See the MIND BLOWING DISCOVERY tennis star Coco said is her biggest lesson of 2024. Do you share in her thought?
Coco Gauff might be known for her extraordinary tennis skills, but the court is not the only place where the American star shines. An incredible cook, Gauff recently hosted her family at her new home, treating them with great food and enthusiasm. However, it wasn’t just the party that charmed Gauff’s followers. Gauff showcased a unique talent while celebrating Thanksgiving with her family and cousins in her new home. What is it? She has got a dab hand in singing. Following a moment filled with fun with her cousins, the former US Open champion’s singing performance showcased her skills and deep admiration she has for her favorite singer Rihanna.
The former US Open champion expressed her desire to start living independently at the beginning of the season. She finally reached her milestone in October by purchasing a house. Despite her wish for independence, Gauff chose to buy a property near her parents in Delray Beach – where she hosted a heartwarming Thanksgiving celebration with her cousins. Gauff surprised everyone with her incredible cooking skills, proving she has talents beyond tennis. “My first time hosting ‘cousins/friendsgiving.’ Everyone made something. Made sweet potato pie for the first time, lol. This is the only pic I have of it,” she wrote on her IG story. However, the main attraction of the party was her singing?
In a TikTok video, the WTA star and her two cousins held microphones and grooved to Rihanna’s song Kiss It Better. Immersed in the moment, Gauff sang passionately, and flashed her radiant smile occasionally. The background clapping highlighted the happiness shared by Gauff’s entire family. A devoted Rihanna fan, Coco Gauff has previously admired the iconic pop singer. Two years ago, when Rihanna released Lift Me Up in tribute to Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman, the WTA star was delighted beyond imagination, and shared her excitement on social media complimenting the singer’s heartfelt gesture.
In March this year, the former US Open champion again showcased her admiration for Rihanna. When asked who she’d like to have dinner with between the iconic singer and legendary Beyonce, Gauff chose Rihanna, explaining, “I’m going to go with Rihanna, just because I would love to hear how she started Fenty Beauty. It was one of the first makeup brands to provide a full shade range of foundation for all skin tones.” Her words highlighted Rihanna’s global stardom and iconic status.
The WTA star certainly had a memorable off-season. From traveling to Los Angeles to hosting “Cousinsgiving,” she made her followers proud. Yet, amidst all the fun moments, Coco Gauff returned to physical training, showing how she is determined to work harder for the 2025 season.
