Nigerian international goalkeeper Maduka Okoye and American rapper Cardi B have sparked fresh romance speculation after they were spotted together on a dinner date in Venice, Italy.

Videos shared online show the pair enjoying an evening out, weeks after they were first seen together during a fashion event in Paris. The latest sighting has intensified rumours that the two are dating, although neither has publicly confirmed the relationship.

The reported romance has generated widespread reactions on social media, with fans and entertainment observers weighing in on the unexpected pairing.

Okoye, who has largely kept his private life out of the spotlight, is reportedly no longer in a relationship with his British girlfriend, while Cardi B is believed to be single following her split from NFL star Stefon Diggs. If confirmed, the relationship would further elevate the Super Eagles goalkeeper’s profile beyond the football world.
