Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleDays after reigniting dating rumors with Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, Cardi B stirred the buzz following their cozy dinner outing in Venice on July 19, 2026. Amid online backlash from fans who alleged that Okoye has an abusive nature, his former partner has come up with fresh new claims.
Jelicia Westhoff, who shares a three-year-old son with Okoye, has accused him of cheating with both men and women, physically abusing her during their relationship, and failing to be present in their son's life.
Shortly after Cardi B and Okoye's dinner date moments surfaced on the internet, Jelicia Westhoff took to her own social media to expose the footballer's alleged conduct. Taking to Instagram Stories, she made a series of explosive posts directed at her former partner. In one message, the woman alleged that she had stood by the goalkeeper before his rise to fame but was met with betrayal. Westhoff wrote:
"I made you! No one knew who you was. And instead of loving us, you beat me, cheated on me with men and women. You're a f***ing demon who tried to destroy my life."
Westhoff further alleged that Okoye had been unfaithful throughout their relationship and claimed he was hiding his sexuality. She alleged, "You was cheating on me with everything," saying:
"I did everything what a woman could do for you because I loved you, until I found out that you liked both sides. You're so open with who you're dating and speaking to. Let's also be open about your sexuality."
The Dutch model, who shares son Isaiah Emil with Maduka Okoye, didn't hold herself back when addressing their alleged parenting dynamic. Westhoff accused the Nigerian international of neglecting their three-year-old, claiming he has failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father.
"YOU DON'T TAKE CARE OF YOUR 1 and only SON!" she wrote, adding that she had tried to maintain a peaceful co-parenting relationship despite their past. She also claimed Okoye failed to visit their son during multiple hospitalizations, including intensive care admissions, alleging that he did not come despite the child's serious medical condition.
Speaking about Westhoff, she is a 30-year-old Dutch model, fashion entrepreneur, and former beauty queen. Born and raised in the Netherlands, she won the Miss Haarlem beauty pageant title. While the exact timeline of her relationship with Maduka Okoye is not available, they began dating around 2020 and welcomed their son on October 14, 2022.
Rumors surrounding Cardi B and Maduka Okoye intensified after the pair were spotted sharing dinner at Gio's Restaurant inside The St. Regis Venice. Footage obtained by TMZ showed the rapper and the Nigerian international seated next to each other during a group dinner, chatting throughout the evening.
While there was no public display of affection, the outing came weeks after they were seen sitting together at the Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture show during Paris Fashion Week, where Okoye was also seen helping Cardi to her seat.
This is not the first time that the alleged couple has faced flak for their seemingly budding romance. While fans called out Cardi B for moving on "too quickly" following her highly publicized split from Stefon Diggs, Westhoff clarified in a recent statement to Page Six that her frustration was not directed at Cardi B but at Okoye's parenting.
The model clarified that she had "nothing against" Cardi, but "about you going out with any woman in public knowing that you don't take care of your child."
Neither Cardi B nor Okoye has publicly addressed the dating buzz, but what is your take on Westhoff's recent allegations?
