American rap superstar Cardi B and Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye have reignited speculation over their relationship after the pair were spotted dining together in Venice, Italy.
The duo was seen at Gio’s Restaurant, located inside the St. Regis Hotel, where they spent the evening with friends overlooking one of the city’s iconic canals. Images and videos from the outing, which have since gone viral on social media, showed the Grammy Award-winning rapper seated beside the Nigerian international throughout the dinner.
Cardi B appeared in a turquoise dress, while Okoye, who plays for Italian Serie A club Udinese, was seen chatting and laughing with the rapper and other guests. Although there was no public display of affection, their relaxed interaction has further fuelled speculation that the pair may be romantically involved.
The Venice outing comes just weeks after both celebrities attracted widespread attention at the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture Show during Paris Fashion Week. Okoye was seen escorting Cardi B to her seat at the event, a moment that quickly generated dating rumours across social media platforms.
Neither the American music star nor the Super Eagles goalkeeper has publicly commented on the speculation, leaving fans to draw their own conclusions from their repeated public appearances together.
The latest sighting has intensified online discussions, with many fans suggesting that the consistency of their appearances points to a relationship beyond friendship, while others insist there is no evidence to support the claims.
Until either party addresses the rumours, the true nature of their relationship remains unknown. However, their back-to-back appearances in Paris and Venice have ensured they remain one of the most talked-about celebrity pairings on social media.
