Ons Jabeur is set to become a mother for the first time in April 2026. She recently graced the cover of Vogue Arabia, and her stunning photos from the shoot drew reactions from fellow WTA players, including Coco Gauff, Naomi Osaka, and Paula Badosa, among others.
In November 2025, Jabeur shared an adorable video with her husband, Karim Kamoun, featuring a tiny onesie and a miniature tennis racquet to announce their pregnancy.

“How beautiful ons! 🔥” Paolini commented (translated from Italian).
Speaking about her pregnancy, Jabeur mentioned feeling “tired,” but said the journey has been “full of surprises” for both her and Kamoun, and that they are excited about their life ahead with their baby.
“Sometimes it’s hard to believe I’m pregnant, but he has started kicking a little bit, so he’s definitely there. Sometimes I’m like, ‘Why am I tired?’ And then I remember – I’m growing a kidney. It’s a journey full of surprises for both of us, but we’re excited. We will create great memories with him from day one,” Jabeur said.
On the topic of her return to the tour post-motherhood, the former World No. 2 stated that she will not “rush” to make a comeback and will wait to see how her body feels after giving birth.

“I want to give myself the time to see how my body will react. I don’t want to rush into it. But I definitely would want to go back on tour and compete for a couple of more years. I always knew that tennis is important, but not the most important thing in life,” she added.
Jabeur’s last match on the WTA Tour was at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships. She faced Viktoriya Tomova in the first round but retired from the match during the second set, with the score at 7-6(5), 2-0 (retd.).
