American rapper Cardi B and Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye have fuelled fresh speculation about their relationship after they were spotted having dinner together in Venice, Italy.
Photos and videos circulating on social media showed the pair seated side by side at Gioโs Restaurant inside the St. Regis Hotel, overlooking one of the cityโs famous canals.
Cardi B wore a turquoise dress, while Okoye sat beside her throughout the evening as they dined with friends and socialised.
Although there was no public display of affection, eyewitnesses said the duo appeared relaxed, chatting and smiling throughout the outing, further fuelling rumours about the nature of their relationship.
The latest public appearance comes weeks after the pair attracted attention at the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture Show during Paris Fashion Week.
Okoye, who plays for Italian Serie A side Udinese, was seen escorting the Grammy-winning rapper to her seat at the fashion event, with videos of the moment quickly going viral on social media.
Their appearances together in Paris and now Venice have continued to generate widespread discussion among fans, with many speculating that the two may be romantically involved.
However, neither Cardi B nor Okoye has publicly addressed the rumours or confirmed the nature of their relationship.
The 33-year-old rapper and the 26-year-old Nigerian international remain the subject of growing online interest as their repeated public appearances together continue to attract attention.
