The hunky athlete — who has been in an on-again, off-again relationship with Dutch model Jelicia Westhoff since late 2021 — sported a mint green vest, matching pants and a white tank to the event.
After he held Cardi’s hand to help her to her seat, TikTok users gushed over the pair “look[ing] good together.”
Later, the two were spotted in the middle of a flirtatious exchange on a Parisian restaurant’s terrace.

Others, however, poked fun at social media going into “meltdown mode” over the pair’s interactions.

The “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker’s last public relationship was with another athlete — NFL player Stefon Diggs.
The on-again, off-again couple debuted their romance in May 2025 on the heels of Cardi and estranged husband Offset’s split.
The American Music Award winner announced four months later that she was pregnant with baby No. 3, her first child with Diggs.
The little one, now 8 months, was born in November 2025, and his name has yet to be revealed.

The current status of their romance remains unclear.
As for Okoye and Westhoff, they share a son named Isaiah.
