Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen and his longtime partner, Stefanie Kim Ladewig, have welcomed their second child, a baby girl named Liora Audrey.
The Turkish champions announced the news in a post on X, saying: “Our Football A Team player Victor Osimhen and Stefanie have welcomed a baby girl into the world. We congratulate the couple Victor and Stefanie; we wish their newborn baby Liora Audrey a long, healthy, and happy life.”
Liora Audrey is the couple’s second daughter. They already have a child, Hailey True, who was born in 2022.
Osimhen has regularly shown his close relationship with Hailey, including affectionate moments with her during matches and trophy celebrations. The arrival of Liora Audrey marks a new chapter for the Nigeria international and his family.
Ladewig, a Cameroonian-German model and influencer, has been in a relationship with Osimhen for several years. The couple reportedly met during the striker’s time with German club Wolfsburg and have kept their relationship largely private during his subsequent spells at Lille, Napoli and Galatasaray.
The birth follows a road accident involving Ladewig earlier this month. She was involved in a multi-vehicle collision in Istanbul while heavily pregnant, but escaped unharmed and was later discharged after undergoing precautionary checks.
Osimhen, 27, has continued to play a significant role for Galatasaray this season, supplying goals and assists as the club competes on domestic and European fronts.
There had been reports that he could alter his schedule around the birth, with uncertainty over whether he would be available for upcoming matches, including the away fixture against Konyaspor.
The news has prompted messages of congratulations from fans in Nigeria, Turkey and across the football world. Osimhen remains a key figure for Galatasaray both on and off the pitch during what has been a successful period with the club.
The family’s newest member has been welcomed with wishes for a long, healthy and happy life.
