American rapper Cardi B and Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye have been spotted together in Italy for the third time, further fuelling speculation about a possible relationship between the pair.
The latest sighting took place on September 3, just hours before Okoye’s Udinese faced Venezia in the Coppa Italia round of 32.
Cardi B and Okoye were seen interacting casually in Italy, with their latest appearance attracting attention because of its proximity to Okoye’s match. Udinese eventually secured a 2-1 comeback victory over Venezia, although it remains unclear whether Cardi B’s presence in Italy was connected to the fixture.
The latest encounter follows two previous public appearances that have intensified dating rumours surrounding the American music star and the Nigerian international.
Cardi B and Okoye were first seen together during Paris Fashion Week in July at the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture show. The pair reportedly sat beside each other before later being seen chatting on a balcony at a private event.
They were subsequently spotted together at a waterfront dinner in Venice, where Cardi B reportedly described Okoye as “really sweet and very kind” while dining with a group of friends.
Their third public appearance has continued to generate speculation online, although neither Cardi B nor Okoye has publicly confirmed that they are dating.
The sightings have also involved other people, rather than the pair being seen exclusively together, leaving the exact nature of their relationship unclear.
Okoye, who represents Nigeria internationally, plays his club football for Udinese in Italy. The 26-year-old goalkeeper was born in Düsseldorf to a Nigerian father and German mother.
Beyond football, Okoye has attracted attention in recent months through appearances at high-profile fashion and sporting events.
As fans continue to speculate about his connection with Cardi B, both the Nigerian international and the American rapper have so far refrained from publicly defining their relationship.
