Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye’s partner, Dutch model and influencer Jelicia Westhoff, has accused him of chronic infidelity, child abandonment, and physical assault.
The claims came to light a few days after the Nigerian international was spotted with American rapper Cardi B at the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture fashion show in Venice, Italy, which sparked rumors of a potential romance on social media.
Westhoff said that Okoye had locked her and their two-year-old kid out of their house and had neglected to stay in touch with or support the youngster in a string of posts on Instagram. She claimed that in order to save the goalkeeper’s reputation and football career, she had remained silent during their four-year relationship but had now decided to speak out.
Additionally, she claimed that Okoye was not present throughout their son’s latest hospital stay, allowing her to handle things on her own.
“Let’s say I kept quiet and lied about what you did to me so you could pursue your profession, and all you do is make us seem bad. When I helped you when no one else was there for you, you make me look like a resentful baby mom! I created you! Nobody was aware of your identity. You beat me and cheated on me with men and women instead of showing us love. Jelicia wrote, “You are a demon who attempted to ruin my life.
Westhoff went on to say that Okoye’s sexual orientation prevented him from having any other public relationships throughout their time together.
“You never had any other girlfriend than me because you’re bi,” she wrote. And there’s nothing wrong with that; it’s completely acceptable. However, we won’t keep going out while our son hasn’t seen you in months.
As of this writing, Okoye has not officially addressed the accusations.
