There has been speculations Cardi B once married to fellow rapper Offset and date Stefon Diggs has something going on with Okoye and they seem to confirm that with an appearance at the Paris Fashion Week.
The duo attended the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture Show, where Okoye was seen escorting Cardi B to her seat before the pair watched the runway presentation together.
They were also among the guests at the Messika showcase during the prestigious fashion event in the French capital.
Clips of their appearance quickly circulated across TikTok, X and other social media platforms, with many users reacting to their stylish outfits and friendly interaction.
Okoye, who plays for Udinese in Italy’s Serie A and the Super Eagles, has recently gained increased 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 side 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 establish himself in Italy’s top flight and as one of Nigeria’s leading goalkeepers.
Cardi B and Maduka Okoye...something going on.
