Cardi B, Maduka Okoye spark fresh dating rumours after Venice dinner

Speculation about a romantic relationship between American rapper Cardi B and Nigerian Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye has intensified following their recent dinner in Venice, Italy. Photos and videos shared on social media show the two seated together at Gio’s Restaurant, enjoying a meal with friends overlooking a canal.

Eyewitnesses reported that the pair appeared relaxed and engaged in conversation, smiling throughout the evening. This sighting comes just weeks after Cardi B and Okoye were seen together at the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture Show during Paris Fashion Week. During that event, Okoye escorted the Grammy-winning artist to her seat, with videos of the moment quickly circulating online.

Their joint appearances in Paris and now Venice have sparked widespread discussion among fans, with many interpreting these outings as confirmation of a romantic involvement. However, both Cardi B, 33, and Okoye, 26, have remained silent on the rumors, neither confirming nor denying the nature of their relationship. The continued public attention underscores the growing interest in their connection as they are seen together more frequently.
