Cardi B and Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye have fueled fresh romance speculation after they were spotted having dinner together in Venice, Italy.
The pair were seen seated beside each other at Gio’s restaurant inside the luxurious St. Regis Hotel, where they enjoyed a meal with a group of friends overlooking one of the city’s famous canals.
According to TMZ, Cardi B turned heads in a turquoise dress, while Okoye appeared cheerful as they interacted with others at the table. Although there was no public display of affection, the two looked at ease in each other’s company throughout the evening.
Witnesses also claimed the group watched a fireworks display from the hotel before settling in for dinner.
Their latest outing comes shortly after they attracted attention at Paris Fashion Week, where Okoye was seen helping the Grammy-winning rapper into her seat, sparking rumours that they could be more than friends.
Neither Cardi B nor Okoye has commented on the speculation, but their repeated public appearances together continue to keep fans guessing about the nature of their relationship.
