The actor shared that his partner, a nurse based in the U.S., has been his quiet source of support over the years.

“We’ve been dating since 2017, quietly, with no social media show of affection,” Okocha stated, explaining that he’s finally ready to settle down after years of being a “baby daddy” and is embracing marriage as the next big step in his life.
