WWE Star Nikki Bella Admits Crush On Nigerian Soccer Player: “Astonishingly Handsome”

WWE icon Nikki Bella has made an interesting statement.

The Fearless One is one of the most popular stars in the sports entertainment juggernaut. Nikki Bella was set to compete at WrestleMania 42 in the Women’s Tag Team Title match with her sister, Brie Bella, but a severe ankle injury ruled her out of action.

Brie ended up partnering with the returning Paige at The Show of Shows instead, and the duo managed to win the tag team gold.

Nikki Bella still hasn’t made her comeback on WWE TV, and amid her absence, she has turned heads with a spicy confession. Speaking on the recent episode of the Nikki and Brie Show, Nikki admitted to stalking Nigerian footballer (soccer player) and new internet sensation, Maduka Emilio Okoye, on Instagram.

For those unaware, the German-Nigerian goalkeeper plays for Udinese in Serie A, the top division of Italian football.

“Also in soccer news. Have you seen the trending face that’s been going everywhere?” Nikki said (22:54 – 23:30). “The Nigerian goalkeeper? I’m going to probably crush his name. Uh, Maduka. I mean, I’m just gonna say OK, but it’s like I don’t, I can’t even. I’m just saying, like, because his face is beautiful, maybe. Literally breaks the internet for being astonishingly handsome, and I went to his Instagram, and wow. He looks like AI. Yeah, but he is insanely handsome.”

During her chat with Brie Bella, Nikki Bella revealed she had a little giggle after learning that Charlotte Flair and a few popular female personalities are already following Okoye on the social media platform. Nikki also wondered if any of them DM’ed him.

When Brie asked whether Nikki would also follow Maduka Okoye, The Fearless One said she might. She even contemplated sending in a message before bringing up the possibility of Okoye having a girlfriend.

Upon learning Maduka Okoye’s age to be 26 years, WWE star Nikki Bella claimed that it is not too young for her to have “fun” with.

WWE star Nikki Bella has a crush on another personality

Nikki Bella isn’t someone who hides her feelings. During a previous iteration of the Nikki and Brie Show, she admitted that 55-year-old Golden Globe winner Jon Hamm is also one of her crushes.

Cody Rhodes: Did you guys see Jon Hamm walk by?

Nikki: He’s one of my crushes. [21:48]

It will be interesting to see how the former Divas Champion will be booked upon her return to WWE.
