Japanese-American Tennis Champion, Naomi Osaka, just scored a date with her celebrity crush, and it’s all thanks to Ellen.
Back in September, Osaka was invited onto “The Ellen Degeneres Show” after her win at the U.S. Open against Serena Williams. She admitted to having a crush on actor Michael B. Jordan, known for his role in “Black Panther.”
Osaka, who is of Japanese and Haitian descent, became the first Japanese-born tennis player in history to win the U.S. Open.
On October 16, Ellen jokingly offered her a birthday gift, a topless photo of Jordan from his most recent movie, “Creed.”
