Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye appears to have put recent breakup rumours to rest after a video surfaced showing him spending quality time with his son and partner, Jelicia Westhoff, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 25-year-old Udinese shot-stopper was seen sharing a tender moment with his son following his side’s pre-season victory over Dutch outfit FC Twente at the De Grolsch Veste stadium.

A rare public appearance spotted Westhoff in attendance, which has sparked speculations that the couple are very much still together.

The video, which has since circulated on social media, shows the Nigerian international embracing his role as a father.

This development comes months after a highly publicised episode in 2024, during which Westhoff announced a breakup on social media and accused Okoye of disrespecting their family.

She later deleted ... and issued a public apology, where she described her earlier comments as out of character.

While they reconciled briefly, the relationship faced further strain in December when Jelicia shared, and later deleted, disturbing photos alongside fresh allegations of abuse and infidelity.

Despite the turbulent history, the couple now seem committed to moving past the controversy. Sources close to the duo reveal they have chosen to keep their relationship out of the spotlight.

Neither Okoye nor Westhoff has addressed the recent rumours publicly, but the latest video suggests their bond remains intact—at least for now.
