As Infant Son Battles Health Scare, Nelly Korda’s Older Sister Jessica Vents About Exhaustion: ‘What Is Sleep Anyway?’

As Nelly Korda battles on the LPGA Tour, her sister Jessica Korda is facing a different kind of challenge at home. Jessica’s infant son, Greyson John DelPrete, recently caught his first fever at just seven months old, leaving the new mother exhausted.

In a heartfelt Instagram story, the six-time LPGA Tour winner shared the ordeal with her followers, revealing that both she and her son have been struggling to get enough rest. “What’s sleep anyway?” Jessica wrote, adding a touch of humor despite the difficulty of the situation. The post struck a chord with many of her fans, who have followed her journey into motherhood closely.

Jessica has been on a break from professional golf for over a year, initially due to a back injury and later to focus on her pregnancy and new role as a mother. Although she has not set a definitive return date, Jessica hinted in a recent podcast that she may come back to the LPGA Tour once her maternity leave ends, possibly in 2026. Until then, she remains focused on her family and recovery, sharing moments of her life with Greyson while fans and fellow golfers support her from afar.
