American rapper Cardi B and Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye have stirred up new dating rumors after they were seen together in Milan, Italy.
The two were spotted on Tuesday during Milan Fashion Week. This sighting adds to a series of public appearances that have made people wonder if they might be in a relationship.
Okoye, who plays for Italian club Udinese, was in Milan to represent his team at an event where he showed off their new third kit. Videos shared online also showed him hanging out with Cardi B.
This sighting happened just before Okoye was set to join the Super Eagles camp. Nigeria is preparing for its matches in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Reports say Okoye will join the squad soon after.
Cardi B was also busy on the same day, taking part in Vogue World Milano. She walked the runway in a vintage Versace dress from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2018 collection.
This latest sighting comes after several times the two have been seen together since July.
They first caught public attention during Paris Couture Week. Okoye was photographed sitting next to Cardi B at the Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture show.
He was also seen helping her to her seat. That moment spread quickly online and sparked rumors about their relationship.
On July 19, they were again seen together in Venice. They had dinner at Gio’s restaurant in the St. Regis Venice with some other guests.
Though there was no public display of affection, the two seemed relaxed sitting next to each other and chatting during dinner.
The pair was also spotted together in Udine in early September, where Okoye plays for Udinese.
Neither Cardi B nor Okoye has confirmed they are dating.
But Cardi B did talk about Okoye in an interview with Vogue Arabia in August.
She described the Nigerian goalkeeper, saying, “He was really sweet. When you see him on social media, he looks very strict and stern, but he is very kind.”
When asked if fans would see more of him, Cardi B replied, “I hope so,” while giggling.
These comments added to the rumors about them but did not confirm they are a couple.
Okoye, 27, is a Nigerian goalkeeper born in Germany. He plays for Serie A club Udinese and represents the Super Eagles.
He started his football career in Germany, played in the Netherlands and England, and joined Udinese in 2023.
The goalkeeper has also drawn attention for his love of fashion and his appearances at major fashion events.
For now, their repeated appearances in Paris, Venice, Udine, and Milan, along with Cardi B’s comments about Okoye, keep fueling dating speculations.
Still, neither has officially confirmed they are a couple.
