Maduka Okoye and Cardi B Spark Dating Rumours After Paris Fashion Show Appearance

Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye has become the subject of fresh romance speculation after appearing alongside American rapper Cardi B at a high-profile fashion event in Paris.

While football fans around the world were focused on the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026, co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, Okoye found himself making headlines for reasons away from the pitch.

The Nigerian international attended the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture Show in Paris on July 8, where he was seen seated beside Cardi B.

Videos circulating on social media captured Okoye warmly assisting the Grammy-winning rapper to her seat before handing her a fan to help her stay cool during the show. In another clip, the pair were seen chatting on a balcony, with Cardi B smiling throughout their conversation.

The interactions quickly ignited dating rumours online, with many fans wondering if there could be more than friendship between the two celebrities.

Social media users were equally captivated by Okoye’s appearance, with many praising the Udinese goalkeeper’s looks. On Instagram, the comment section of African Folder’s post was flooded with reactions, as fans joked that Cardi B clearly has a preference for handsome men, while others said the pair looked like a perfect match.

Neither Maduka Okoye nor Cardi B has addressed the speculation, leaving fans to continue guessing about the nature of their relationship.
