Last month, amid the buzz of the 2026 Fifa World Cup, Nigeria’s national goalkeeper Maduka Okoye became an internet sensation after fans crowned him the world’s sexiest footballer.
In the weeks since, Okoye has been spotted at Jean Paul Gaultier’s fall/winter 2026 haute couture show at Paris Fashion Week and even sparked romance rumours after he and rapper Cardi B were seen spending time together in Venice, Italy.

However, Okoye’s baby mama Jelicia Westhoff recently came out to accuse the professional football player of cheating on her and being physically abusive.

“Imagine I shut my f****** mouth, lied about what you did to me, so you could continue your career and all you do is f****** embarrass us,” the model reportedly shared in a since-deleted Instagram Story. “You make me look like I’m a bitter baby mother when I helped you when no one was there for you!!! I made you! No one knew who you [were] and instead of loving us you beat me!”

Westhoff, who shares a three-year-old son with Okoye, went on to accuse the footballer of neglecting their son and cheating on her with both men and women.

“My son got hospitalised four times, [in] intensive care, with an ambulance!!!” she wrote. “His father didn’t even [come]! Which father doesn’t [go] to his child when your child is fighting for his life? Explain this to me?? Cause you can’t be with the mother???”

In a statement to Page Six, Westhoff further clarified that she had nothing against Cardi B. “[It’s] about you going out with any woman in public knowing that you don’t take care of your child,” she told the outlet.
