Although the two did not display any public affection, eyewitnesses said they appeared comfortable in each other’s company, engaging in conversation and sharing smiles throughout the outing, further fuelling rumours about their relationship.
The latest public appearance comes weeks after the pair attracted attention at the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture Show during Paris Fashion Week.
Okoye, who plays for Italian Serie A side Udinese, was seen escorting the Grammy-winning rapper to her seat at the fashion event, with videos of the moment quickly going viral on social media.
