American rapper Cardi B and Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye turned heads with a stylish appearance together at Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday.
The pair attended the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture Show. Okoye was seen helping Cardi B to her seat as cameras flashed around them. They later sat side by side to watch the runway show.
They were also seen together at the Messika presentation during the fashion event in Paris.
Videos of the two quickly spread across TikTok, X and other social media platforms. Fans reacted to their relaxed interaction and fashionable appearance.
Cardi B’s bold red outfit at the Haute Couture Show also received praise, with many describing it as one of the standout looks of the event.
Their appearance together fueled online speculation about the nature of their relationship, especially because of the rapper’s high-profile dating history.
However, neither Cardi B nor Okoye has spoken publicly about the rumours, and there is no verified evidence that they are romantically involved.
Okoye, who plays for Udinese in Italy’s Serie A and the Super Eagles, has recently attracted more attention beyond football for his looks, fashion appearances and social media presence.
Born in Düsseldorf, Germany, to a Nigerian father and a mother of German and French heritage, the 26-year-old made his senior debut for Nigeria in 2019.
Standing at 1.98 metres (6ft 6in), the goalkeeper began his professional career in Germany before moving to Dutch club Sparta Rotterdam, where he was named the club’s Player of the Season for the 2020/21 campaign.
His performances earned him a move to Watford in 2022 before he joined Udinese the following year, where he has continued to build his place in Italy’s top flight and as one of Nigeria’s leading goalkeepers.
