It sounds like Naomi Osaka and Cordae have the whole parenthood thing figured out ... 'cause the tennis star says the two have made it easy by building "a really good foundation" for their baby girl.

Osaka and the "Gifted" rapper welcomed their daughter, Shai, in July ... and have been so private about raising their daughter, they don't even share photos of her on social media.

The 4-time Grand Slam singles champ briefly gave some inside info on her new role as a mother five months after giving birth ... and revealed Cordae -- who she started dating in 2019 -- is making parenting easy.

"We built a really good foundation," Osaka told InStyle this week. "I don't know if it's because he's just an easygoing guy, but I think we just respect each other's opinions. And if we disagree on something, we talk it out."

"At the end of the day, we both want what's best for Shai."

Osaka also said her pregnancy wasn't the smoothest journey -- the 26-year-old tested positive for a bacterial infection Group B streptococcus, which affects millions of expecting mothers every year.

The infection can lead to sepsis, meningitis, or stillbirth for babies ... and it made Osaka very anxious.

The death of Olympic track and field champ Tori Bowie, who was found dead as a result of childbirth complications about two months before Osaka's delivery date, had her scared as well.

"I was kind of starting to freak out a little bit," Osaka admitted. "There were so many things I wasn't aware of."

But, everything is going well now ... as Shai is a healthy baby girl, Cordae is being a great father, and Osaka -- who started back training in October -- is looking forward to the next Wimbledon and French Open.

Pacers legend George McGinnis -- who won two ABA titles and an MVP award -- passed away on Thursday after a suffering medical emergency last week.

According to the Pacers, McGinnis -- who played for Indiana from 1971 to 1975 before the NBA merger -- died at the Community North Hospital days after he went into cardiac arrest at his home.

"We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Hall of Famer George McGinnis," the Pacers said in a statement on Instagram.

"He was the very definition of an Indiana basketball legend, a champion, and Hall of Fame athlete. But he was more than that. George was family."

The Pacers drafted the 6-foot-8 power forward out of Indiana University ... and he quickly became a key player for Indiana's two ABA championship wins in 1972 and 1973.

He went on to become such a legend for the Pacers, the organization retired his No. 30 jersey. McGinnis is only one of only four Pacers to ever receive that honor.

McGinnis also played for the Sixers and Nuggets ... before he ended his career with the Pacers again.

"From his all-state high school days to his time as an IU All-American and, of course, to his legendary ABA championship runs with the Pacers, George McGinnis shaped so many of the fondest basketball memories for generations of Hoosiers," the Pacers said.

"A passionate advocate for his fellow ABA players and a present, smiling face around the franchise, George has been as synonymous with our Pacers franchise as anyone."

"He will be greatly missed, and all of us at Pacers Sports & Entertainment will keep George and his family in our prayers."

McGinnis was 73 years old.

Matt LeBlanc fue visto cenando esta semana, siendo uno de los últimos "Friends" en hacerlo desde que Matthew Perry murió.

El actor fue a Nobu en Malibu el martes —uno de los lugares más famosos y de alto perfil en la ciudad— quien va allí, sin duda quiere ser visto, y así fue..

Parecía bastante neutral y pensativo mientras compartía con sus amigos, y por un momento, mostró una gran sonrisa mientras saludaba a uno de sus amigos cerca del estacionamiento.

Es significativo ver a Matt finalmente de manera pública y compartiendo con sus amigos. Ya que desde el fallecimiento de su antiguo compañero de reparto que no lo veíamos en una situación así.

Hemos visto a Matt salir en público antes, pero la última vez que lo hizo, estaba al volante conduciendo por Los Ángeles.

La vida sigue adelante y también lo hacen las personas, no importa quién nos deja. Sin embargo, por muy dura que deba ser para él la muerte de Mattew, parece intentar seguir adelante con la mayor normalidad posible. Matt publicó una despedida formal a Perry el mes pasado.

Como decíamos, otros actores de "Friends" han salido a la palestra desde que Matthew falleció. Por supuesto, esto no incluye su funeral, al que todos asistieron. Hemos visto a Courteney Cox salir a cenar por Los Ángeles y David Schwimmer también ha dado la cara tras su muerte.

Los únicos que no hemos visto públicamente hasta ahora son; Jennifer Aniston y Lisa Kudrow, pero algo nos dice que es probable que las veamos por ahí a su debido tiempo también.

Matt LeBlanc stepped out for dinner this week -- one of the last remaining "Friends" to do so since Matthew Perry died ... and it's meaningful for a lot of different reasons.

The actor hit up Nobu in Malibu Tuesday -- which is big considering it's one of the most high-profile celeb hot spots in town ... and whoever goes there certainly wants to be seen. You could argue that's the case for Matt here -- who was joined by a bunch of buddies.

He looked fairly neutral and pensive as he rolled up with the boys, but at one point ... he did, in fact, flash a big smile as he greeted one of his friends near the valet booth outside.

Like we said ... it's significant to see MLB out and about like this in the wake of his old costar's tragic passing -- which occurred in late October. The reason ... they were close cast members on the hit sitcom ... just think about Chandler and Joey.

We've seen Matt step out in public before ... but the last time he did that, he was behind the wheel driving around in L.A. -- so it wasn't quite like what we're seeing here at Nobu.

The theme, you might argue, is that life moves on ... and so do people, no matter who leaves us. And yet, as hard as MP's death must be for him -- he, too, appears to be trying to carry on as normally as he can. Last month, Matt posted a formal farewell to Perry.

Like we said, other "Friends" actors have stepped out in the spotlight since Matthew passed -- not including his funeral, of course, which they all attended. We've seen Courteney Cox hit dinner in L.A. ... and David Schwimmer has also shown face in the wake of his death.

The only ones we haven't seen publicly thus far are ... Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow, but something tells us we'll likely spot them out and about in due time as well.

La batalla de Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell contra el cáncer era algo que estaba bien documentado, TMZ ha indagado y se mostrará a los fans en una próxima temporada de la serie de realidad de Mama June.

Fuentes de la familia le dicen a TMZ que Anna era muy abierta sobre sus problemas de salud y quería que se documentara en la nueva temporada de "Mama June: From Not to Hot" para que la gente pudiera entender mejor las luchas por las que pasó.

Ella también quería que los fans sepan todo lo que enfrentó, ya que siempre fue sincera con ellos.

Nos dicen que Anna no tuvo problemas con el equipo de producción filmando su viaje, la tripulación estuvo a su lado apenas unas horas antes de su muerte. Anna estaba en hospicio por un poco más de tres semanas hacia el final y estaba abierta a documentar todo.

Las fuentes dicen que la producción consideró que era mejor no estar allí en el momento final de Anna, y no estarán allí para filmar el funeral. A pesar de que Anna estaba de acuerdo, el equipo quería darle a la familia un poco de privacidad durante el duelo.

Como informamos, Anna sufría de carcinoma suprarrenal en etapa 4 y murió el sábado, nos dijeron que Anna pidió que sus fans pudieran asistir a su funeral con ataúd abierto, y nuestras fuentes dicen que la familia está honrando que como uno de sus últimos deseos.

Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell's battle with cancer was something that was well-documented, TMZ has learned ... and will be shared with fans in an upcoming season of Mama June's reality series.

Family sources tell TMZ ... Anna was very open about her health issues, and wanted it to be included on "Mama June: From Not to Hot" so people could better understand the struggles she went through, and those of cancer patients, in general.

She also wanted fans to know everything she faced, since she was always candid with them.

We're told Anna had no problems with the production team filming her journey, and the crew was by her side just hours before she passed away -- Anna was in hospice for a little over 3 weeks toward the end, and she was open to documenting everything.

Sources say production felt it was best to not be there when she passed, and they won't be there to record the funeral, either ... despite Anna being alright with it, the crew wanted to give the family some privacy while they mourn.

As we reported, Anna was suffering from stage 4 adrenal carcinoma and died on Saturday -- we were told Anna requested that her fans be able to attend her open-casket funeral, and our sources say the family's honoring that as one of her last wishes.

Nanny Faye -- the viral great-grandmother who captured hearts on TikTok -- has died ... this according to her family.

The beloved senior's grandson broke the sad news on her favorite social media platform -- letting her nearly 240k followers (and everyone else) know she had passed peacefully in October from what sounds like natural causes.

Nanny had recently been battling some health issues, including cancer, and her grandson had been documenting her journey on TikTok ... noting a few months ago that she'd undergone 2 major surgeries and a minor procedure as well, and that was on the road to recovery.

However, in the wake of her operations ... Nanny came down with pneumonia, and it sounds like that might've been one of the ailments she was battling at the end. As her family member notes, though, NF was not afraid of the great beyond ... and seemed ready.

The reason that's notable, of course, is because she'd gone viral on TikTok earlier this year for sage, calm advice she'd given to a concerned TikTok user who was fretting about death.

In her own unique way, Nanny communicated ... there was nothing to fear, and from what her grandson says -- she maintained that same optimistic attitude right up to the end of her life.

Nanny Faye built a strong following for several tidbits of wisdom she dropped ... touching on faith, family and even grander philosophical topics. Obviously, she had a wealth of experience to relay to the new generation, and just about everybody loved hearing from her regularly.

Her grandson says she had personal writings that he plans to share with everyone in the near future, so there'll be a reason to continue following her for new content. She was 98.

Mama June is taking over mama duties for one of her late daughter Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell's kids ... TMZ has learned.

Family sources tell TMZ ... Mama June is currently in custody of Anna's 11-year-old daughter Kaitlyn.

Anna, who died Saturday after a difficult battle with cancer, had 2 daughters with 2 different men ... and our sources say the younger child, 8-year-old Kylee, is now living with her biological father, Michael.

We're told the family had a plan in place for Kylee to move in with her dad should something happen to Anna, who was diagnosed, back in January, with stage 4 cancer.

Our sources say Kaitlyn and Mama June have a very close bond -- she's June's first grandchild -- so, everyone in the family agrees, moving her to Grandma's house is the best situation for her. We're also told June plans to become Kaitlyn's legal guardian.

As we first told you, Anna secretly married her partner, Eldridge Toney, back in March after learning she had cancer.

We're told Eldridge has a very close relationship with both Kaitlyn and Kylee -- though he's not their biological father -- and he will continue to be involved in both their lives as well.
