Move over, Coco — it’s Codey’s time to shine! In a rare and heartwarming family moment, Candi Gauff, mother of tennis superstar Coco Gauff, took center stage on social media this week — but not to celebrate another Grand Slam title. Instead, she was beaming with pride over her younger son, Codey, who just hit an impressive milestone in his budding baseball career.
The Gauff family is clearly not short on talent, and Codey proved that athletic excellence runs deep in the bloodline. Over the weekend, the young slugger reportedly delivered a standout performance during a youth league baseball tournament, helping his team clinch a crucial win with a clutch hit and an incredible outfield catch that had coaches and spectators buzzing.
Candi, ever the proud mama bear, shared a sweet Instagram post celebrating the moment. The caption read: “So proud of my baby boy! Codey played with heart, hustle, and joy today. Watching you grow into your own is the greatest gift. ❤️⚾” The post included photos of Codey in full uniform, flashing a victorious grin and standing beside a gleaming trophy.
Fans of Coco Gauff flooded the comment section with support and surprise. “Wait — there’s another Gauff athlete in the making? We stan a sports dynasty!” one fan wrote. Another commented, “Codey’s got the Gauff grit! Can’t wait to see where he goes with this!”
While Coco is usually the one in the spotlight, it’s clear that the entire Gauff family shares in the triumphs — and the talent. Candi has long been recognized as a grounding force in Coco’s career, often seen courtside cheering with quiet strength. But seeing her beam with pride for Codey showed a different, tender side of the supermom.
Even Coco got in on the celebration, reposting her mom’s story with the caption: “Codey going off!!! Proud sister moment 🥹💪🏾” — a sweet sibling nod that had fans melting.
The moment is a reminder that while Coco is the face of the family’s athletic fame, there’s another Gauff making waves in the world of sports. With Candi cheering from the sidelines and Coco backing him up, Codey may be well on his way to building a legacy of his own.
From tennis courts to baseball diamonds, the Gauff family continues to dominate — one sport at a time.
