Relationships involving some public figures are usually messy, and social media often shows only one side.
At the centre of a relationship drama this time is a Nigerian fine boy goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye. On July 20, 2026, social media erupted once again over screenshots shared from the Instagram stories of Jelicia Westhoff, the Dutch model, influencer, and mother of Okoye’s son.
The posts contain explosive accusations against the Udinese and Super Eagles star, which have reignited a rollercoaster relationship that has seen multiple public breakups and reconciliations.

What Jelicia Westhoff Alleged
Maduka Okoye’s baby mama, Jelicia, went all out with her Instagram story updates. Mixed with all-caps wording for emphasis, Westhoff had an emotional outburst and accused Okoye of the following:
• Westhoff claims Okoye used to beat her and she chose not to press charges against him because she was scared he was going to punish their son for it.
“INSTEAD OF loving US. YOU Beated me! Cheated ON ME. with MEN AND WOMAN YOUR a FUCKING DEMON WHO TRIED TO DESTROY MY LIFE. YOU DONT TAKE CARE OF YOUR 1 and only SON! BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO BE WITH YOU I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU,” she wrote
• She alleged that Okoye cheated on her with both men and women, referencing his bisexuality.
• Westhoff also added that Okoye rarely sees their son, fails to provide proper care, and is more focused on his public image and social media presence.
• She accused him of manipulation and ingratitude, claiming she supported him financially and emotionally when he was broke, helped build his career, but was later disrespected and abandoned.

She expressed frustration at being painted as a “bitter baby mama” while trying to co-parent their son peacefully.
This isn’t the first time the couple has aired their issues online. In December 2024, Westhoff posted (and later deleted) images showing bruises and made similar domestic violence claims. She accused Okoye of locking her and their young son out of the house.
Each time, Westhoff deleted the posts, issued apologies, and the pair appeared to reconcile, often sharing family moments afterwards.
In June, she had publicly wished Okoye well on Father’s Day and indicated they had moved on for the sake of their child. No criminal charges or court proceedings have been publicly reported from any of the incidents.
The latest posts come as Okoye has gained massive global attention for his looks and performances, which has turned him into something of a social media heartthrob. Hence, many online reactions dismiss Maduka Okoye’s baby mama claims as “bitter ex” behavior timed for maximum visibility, while others urge taking domestic abuse allegations seriously regardless of timing.
For now, Okoye himself has not publicly responded to the latest wave of accusations.
