Cardi B was seen with Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye at a dinner in Italy.
The 'Bodak Yellow' rapper, 33, was spotted cozying up to Okoye, 26, in Venice. The pair were captured on camera at an Italian dinner, overseeing the signature canals of Venice. They dined at Gio's restaurant at the St. Regis, a 5-star luxury hotel. Cardi, née Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, and the soccer star had been seen together before, most recently at an event during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week earlier this summer. Cardi turned heads with her fabulous looks.
At the joint dinner, Cardi B sported an eye-catching turquoise dress. Her appearance with Okoye comes after the two initially sparked dating rumors following her separation from Stefon Diggs.

Cardi B was last tied to Diggs, a wide receiver who most recently played for the New England Patriots. The former couple both attended the Super Bowl in February, with Diggs’ team losing out to the Seattle Seahawks. Cardi, meanwhile, made a guest appearance during Bad Bunny’s history-making halftime show. That same month, Cardi seemingly confirmed their split.
The pair share one child together, a son who was born in November 2025. Their son is Cardi’s fourth child. She’s also mother to Kulture, Wave and Blossom, whom she shares with ex-husband Offset.
Okoye is a goalkeeper for Serie A club Udinese. He was born in Germany and currently plays for the Nigerian national team. He has been in an “on-again, off-again” relationship with Jelicia Westhoff, a Dutch model and social media influencer. The pair have a son together, Isaiah Emil Okoye, and have reportedly been together since 2021.
In January 2023, Westhoff shared a post commemorating Isaiah’s birth. She wrote, “He is finally here, our little beautiful bundle of joy.”
Neither Cardi B nor Okoye have confirmed if they are in a relationship.
Prior to her time with Diggs, Cardi B was in a high-profile, on-again, off-again relationship with Offset. The pair were first linked together in 2017, becoming engaged within a year of dating. She gave birth to their first child, a daughter named Kulture, in 2018. The two rap stars collaborated on several songs and music videos during their lengthy relationship.
The former couple split and got back together several times throughout their relationship. Cardi initially filed for divorce in 2020, but she and Offset were back together within a month. She filed officially in July 2024, announcing that she was pregnant the following day.
Cardi and Diggs were first spotted together in October 2024, with Cardi confirming that they were together in June 2025.
