In a Twitter post which she captioned “Happy birthday, @Naomi_Osaka_. I got you a present. @michaelb4jordan”, Ellen attached a picture of actor Michael B. Jordan.

For some context, Naomi was recently on Ellen’s show where she disclosed after some prodding that her celebrity crush “was in Black Panther, but he was the villain.”
This was after she defeated Selena Williams to win the U.S. Open.
Minutes later, Ellen had taken a selfie and sent it to Michael. Weeks later, it looks like Ellen didn’t forget. Naomi, of course, responded.
pls block me ?

The story didn’t end there as Michael responded.

You’re welcome, Naomi.

And then on Thursday, Naomi, obviously lost but excited said:
