Victor Osimhen is one of Nigeria’s most famous footballers, but his life away from football is much harder to follow, Afrik-Foot reports.
The Galatasaray striker, who could have moved to England this summer, has deliberately kept his partner, daughter and family away from constant media attention.
One clear fact, though, is that Osimhen is not publicly confirmed as married. His long-term partner is Stefanie Kim Ladewig, a German woman of Cameroonian descent. Reports place the start of their relationship around 2018 or 2019, when Osimhen was playing for VfL Wolfsburg.
The couple have a daughter, Hailey True Osimhen, born on October 6, 2022. Stefanie and Hailey have also been seen travelling with Osimhen and supporting him during his football career.
Here are three things that explain what is publicly known about Osimhen’s relationship, daughter, parents, siblings and money.

Victor Osimhen is not married, but has been with Stefanie for years
There is no reliable public confirmation that Osimhen and Stefanie are legally married. They are, however, a long-term couple who have built a family together.
Stefanie was born in Berlin on September 13, 2000. She is German and has Cameroonian roots through her mother. She reportedly met Osimhen around 2019 while he was at Wolfsburg, where she worked as a cheerleader.
Before meeting Osimhen, Stefanie’s public work included cheerleading. She later became a model and lifestyle influencer, worked with beauty and fashion brands, and promoted fragrances. In February 2026, reports said she moved further into business by launching a fashion brand.

Their daughter Hailey is at the centre of Osimhen’s private life
Osimhen and Stefanie have one publicly known child, Hailey True Osimhen, born four years ago while he was at Napoli.
The striker has spoken about fatherhood with unusual openness. In an interview with Corriere della Sera, he said the birth of Hailey changed his life and explained that he dedicates his goals to her.
The family has enjoyed trips together, including a 2026 holiday in Tokyo. Stefanie shared photographs from the Japanese capital showing Hailey at Shibuya Crossing and at a Disney park. Earlier reports also placed the family in Berlin and mentioned Dubai among their holiday destinations.

Osimhen’s parents are dead, but his siblings shaped his rise
Victor Osimhen lost his mother, Christiana, while he was still young. His father, Patrick Osimhen, died on May 24, 2020, aged 80, while Victor was playing for Lille.
Osimhen grew up as the youngest of a large family. His siblings include Andrew, Samson, Gloria, Esther, Joy and Blessing. His elder brother Andrew appears to have had one of the strongest influences on him.
Andrew sold newspapers around Ojota and helped provide for the family after their mother’s death and their father’s loss of employment. Osimhen has credited his brother’s hard-working attitude for influencing his own approach to life.
Blessing has also shared a close bond with Victor. Reports say she supported his football dream and once bought him a JAMB examination form, while later family disputes publicly showed how much responsibility Osimhen had taken on as the family’s main provider.
