In December 2019, Wozniacki announced that she was retiring from pro tennis,writing on Instagramthat she wanted to start a family in the near future.
“Getting married to David was one of those goals and starting a family with him while continuing to travel the world and helping raise awareness about rheumatoid arthritis (project upcoming) are all passions of mine moving forward.”

Wozniacki was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 2018, an incurable autoimmune disorder that causes stiff and painful joints. “It was a big shock,“she told PEOPLE in September. “I’ve never had anyone in my family with RA or an immune disease — I just couldn’t understand how a fit young person could have this disease.”
Her rheumatologist reassured Woznaicki that she could “live a normal life” as long as she started on a treatment plan. That required listening to her body — a tough ask for the competitive Wozniacki, who admitted that she “loves to push myself to the extremes.” Instead, she had to evaluate how she felt each morning, and plan her training schedule accordingly.
“Knowing that I can have children and everything should be fine was a big relief,” she said at the time.
