Super Eagles legend Odion Ighalo is once again making headlines, but this time, it’s not for his football skills. The 35-year-old Al-Wehda striker is rumored to be involved with UK-based podcaster Esther, known for her Spotify Original series, “Looking for Esther.”
What Sparked the Rumors?
The speculation began after a series of Snapchat posts surfaced online, hinting at a possible romantic connection. While there are no direct pictures of Ighalo and Esther together, fans quickly pointed out striking similarities in their posts.
• Esther shared a Snapchat story revealing that someone had arranged for her driver, adding, “He made sure the driver picked me up to the airport in one of his favorite [rides] tho.”
• She later posted another snap inside a luxury van, captioning it, “Giving princess.”
• Around the same time, Ighalo posted a photo of himself in a similar van, dressed in traditional attire—further fueling speculation.
Social Media Frenzy
The rumors have gained traction, especially since Ighalo’s estranged wife, Adesuwa, the mother of his three children, has reportedly been out of the picture for a while.
Popular blog Instablog9ja reignited the discussion by resharing the Snapchat posts, leading fans to speculate that Ighalo and Esther were both in Saudi Arabia at the same time.
No Official Confirmation Yet
Despite the online buzz, there is no concrete evidence confirming a relationship between Ighalo and Esther. The footballer, a devout Christian and father of three, has previously kept his personal life under tight wraps.
For now, it seems the rumored romance is just fan speculation—but as history has shown, where there’s smoke, there’s often fire.
