Okoye's Ex Accuses Him of Abuse, Cheating

Jelicia Westhoff, ex-partner of Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, has publicly accused him of cheating, abuse, and failing to support their son. The accusations were posted on Instagram on July 20, 2026, just hours after Okoye was seen dining with Cardi B in Venice. Westhoff, a Dutch model and entrepreneur, shared emotional posts detailing alleged mistreatment, including claims of abuse and infidelity. She stated that she was motivated to speak out due to Okoye's alleged actions, not jealousy over Cardi B. Westhoff also mentioned police involvement in past incidents and shared screenshots related to child support.

This situation follows a period of public reconciliation between Westhoff and Okoye, with her recent posts indicating they were focused on family. The couple welcomed their son, Emiliano Isaiah Okoye, in October 2022. Westhoff previously supported Okoye through career challenges, including surgery. Despite her earlier claims of working things out as recently as early July 2026, the relationship appears to have fractured again following Okoye's public appearances with Cardi B in Venice and Paris.
