American rapper Cardi B and Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye have sparked more dating rumors after being spotted together in Italy for the third time.
The pair were seen together on September 3, hours before Okoye’s club, Udinese, faced Venezia in the Coppa Italia.
Udinese later secured a 2-1 comeback win over Venezia in the round of 32.
Cardi B’s latest appearance in Italy has caught fans’ attention online. Many have linked her presence to Okoye’s match schedule.
The latest sighting comes weeks after dating rumors about the pair first surfaced.
Cardi B and Okoye were first spotted together at the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture show during Paris Fashion Week. They were seen sitting next to each other before later chatting at a private event.
The two were later spotted together again at a waterfront dinner in Venice. Cardi reportedly described Okoye as “really sweet and very kind” while dining with friends.
Their third public appearance has now added more fuel to the dating speculation.
However, neither Cardi B nor Maduka Okoye has confirmed that they are dating. Their public appearances have also involved other people, rather than the pair being seen alone.
Okoye is a Nigerian international goalkeeper who plays for Udinese in Italy. He was born in Düsseldorf, Germany, to a Nigerian father and German mother.
The footballer has also gained attention outside football in recent months. He has attended major fashion and sporting events, including Paris Fashion Week and the British Grand Prix.
For now, Cardi B and Okoye have not addressed the dating rumors. Their repeated appearances, however, continue to keep fans guessing about the nature of their relationship.
