Cardi B Sparks Dating Rumors With Nigerian Soccer Star Maduka Okoye During Paris Fashion Week

Cardi B has social media playing detective once again after she was spotted spending time with Nigerian soccer star Maduka Okoye during Paris Fashion Week.

Videos making the rounds online show the Grammy-winning rapper laughing and chatting with the 26-year-old goalkeeper on a balcony in Paris. The pair was later seen sitting side by side at the Jean Paul Gaultier fashion show, instantly fueling speculation that there may be more than friendship between them.

Okoye currently plays goalkeeper for Udinese Calcio in Italy’s Serie A and also represents Nigeria’s national team.

Neither Cardi B nor Okoye has publicly addressed the nature of their relationship, but that hasn’t stopped fans from dissecting every video and photo from their Paris appearances.

Cardi’s personal life has remained under the spotlight since she filed for divorce from Offset in July 2024, ending their six-year marriage. Since then, her dating life has continued to generate headlines and online speculation.

Most recently, Cardi was romantically linked to NFL star Stefon Diggs, with reports indicating the two welcomed their first child together in 2025.

Now, after her Fashion Week appearances with Okoye, fans are wondering whether another celebrity-athlete romance could be unfolding—or if the two simply crossed paths during one of fashion’s biggest events.

For now, it’s all speculation until either Cardi B or Maduka Okoye addresses the rumors.
