Cardi B and Nigerian soccer star Maduka Okoye set tongues wagging with Paris Fashion Week flirt fest

Cardi B and Nigerian soccer star Maduka Okoye have sparked dating rumors after their flirtatious interactions during Paris Fashion Week. The duo sat side by side at the Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture show, where the 33-year-old rapper wore a zebra bodysuit and the 26-year-old athlete, who has been in an on-again, off-again relationship with Dutch model Jelicia Westhoff, helped Cardi to her seat by holding her hand. TikTok users gushed over the pair, and a viral clip showed them smiling and chatting on a Parisian restaurant's terrace, with Cardi seen laughing. Cardi's last public relationship was with NFL player Stefon Diggs, with whom she has an 8-month-old baby. The couple debuted their romance in May 2025 after Cardi's split from estranged husband Offset, but their current status remains unclear after a breakup earlier this year followed by public displays of affection and a heated coffee shop clash caught on camera in May. Okoye and Westhoff share a son named Isaiah.
