Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye and American rapper Cardi B have once again become the subject of dating speculation after they were seen together during an outing in Venice, Italy.
The pair were captured in a video obtained by TMZ while having dinner with friends at Gio’s Restaurant inside The St. Regis Hotel.
Cardi B, who wore a turquoise dress, was seated beside the Nigerian goalkeeper as they interacted with each other and other guests throughout the evening. Although they appeared relaxed in each other’s company, there was no visible public display of affection.
After dinner, they were reportedly among a group of friends who watched a fireworks display from the hotel, further fuelling rumours about the nature of their relationship.
The latest sighting follows an earlier appearance together at Paris Fashion Week, where Okoye was seen assisting the rapper to her seat. That encounter quickly went viral and led to widespread speculation that the two were romantically involved.
So far, neither Cardi B nor Okoye has responded to the reports.
Okoye, who plays for the Super Eagles, is not married but has a son, Emiliano Isaiah, with Dutch model Jelicia Westhoff.
Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Almánzar, was previously married to rapper Offset. The pair tied the knot in 2017 before ending their marriage after years of an on-and-off relationship. They share three children together.
