The Super Eagles of Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen enjoyed one of his best seasons ever during the 2022/23 campaign with Napoli.
Osimhen sealed his name in the history books having helped Napoli to a historic Scudetto title after 33 years.
Osimhen was highly instrumental as he helped Luciano Spalletti’s men to their first Serie A title in over three decades.
His goal against Udinese on 4 May 2023 which confirmed Napoli as champions of Italy saw him become the African player to score the most goals in a Serie A season, surpassing Samuel Eto’o at 21 goals.
He also equalled the all-time goalscoring record by an African player in the history of the Serie A set by George Weah, 46 goals.
The striker netted 26 league goals last season, becoming the first African to win the golden boot in the Italian topflight.
However, while Osimhen’s exploits on the pitch have made headlines, the Nigerian striker who has a very active social media life has kept his relationship as private as possible.
The masked striker who is the second most-followed Nigerian footballer on Instagram has also given his reasons behind his decision to keep his relationship life away from the media.
Speaking in an interview with Italian outlet Il Mattino, Osimhen said he is protecting his loved ones from the insults that are rampant on social media.
Osimhen said:
“There is always someone who is ready to criticize, to pour out hatred, to insult, As long as they do it with me, it’s part of the game, you can even ignore it.
“But I could never accept that someone could use abusive words towards my daughter or any of my family members.
“I don’t want to suffer these attacks on my affections, that’s why I defend my family’s privacy from the attacks of those who hate and are capable of writing horrible things on social media. I keep my private life to myself because it is not available to anyone.”
Nonetheless, Osimhen finally revealed his girlfriend and not only that, he flaunted his daughter named Hailey as he celebrated Napoli’s Serie A title at the end of last season.
So, who is Victor Osimhen's girlfriend?
Stefanie Kim Ladewig.
Victor Osimhen is currently dating a German lady known as Stefanie Kim Ladewig.
The pair is believed to have met during Osimhen's playing days at Bundesliga club VFL Wolfsburg.
Osimhen and Stefanie fell in love as the German lady was a cheerleader for Wolfsburg at the time when Osimhen was still at the club.
Although it is not known the exact time the pair started their relationship, what we know is that Osimhen and Stefanie have been together ever since and they both have a daughter named Hailey.
During the Scudetto celebration in June 2023, Osimhen was spotted with his girlfriend and daughter, along with some of his family members.
Victor Osimhen’s girlfriend Stefanie Ladewig is no doubt one of the most beautiful Wags of Nigerian footballers.
Osimhen who won the 2015 FIFA U17 top scorer award in Chile revealed his girlfriend and daughter and the world came to terms with his love life for the first time.
Did Osimhen have other girlfriends before he met Stefanie Kim Ladewig?
We're not sure if Osimhen had other girlfriends prior to his move to Wolfsburg in 2017. The footballer who hails from Edo State, Nigeria has kept a low profile when it comes to his love life for many years before he finally introduced the woman we now know as his girlfriend in June, 2023.
