Nigeria star Victor Osimhen becomes father for the second time

Nigerian international Victor Osimhen has welcomed his second child, a baby girl named Liora Audrey, with his partner Stephanie Kim Ladewig.

The Galatasaray forward is celebrating the latest addition to his family after the birth of his daughter, with the Turkish giants publicly congratulating the striker and his partner on the joyful occasion.

The Istanbul-based club announced the news on Thursday through a statement published on its official X account, confirming that Osimhen and Stephanie had welcomed a baby girl.

“Our 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,” the club stated.

The announcement has brought attention to a special moment in the life of the Nigerian forward, who continues to enjoy an important chapter in his professional career while celebrating another milestone away from the football pitch.

Meanwhile, reports from Turkey indicate that Osimhen did not travel with the Galatasaray squad to Konya on Thursday due to family reasons.

His absence is understood to be connected to the arrival of his newborn daughter, as the 27-year-old prioritises spending time with his partner and family during the special occasion.

Osimhen, who has established himself as one of Nigeria’s leading football exports, has enjoyed considerable success in European football, particularly during his time in Italy and Turkey.

The former Napoli striker remains a major figure for Galatasaray, where his goalscoring ability, physical presence and attacking qualities have made him an important part of the club’s ambitions.

The birth of Liora Audrey marks another memorable milestone for the Super Eagles forward, with Galatasaray joining supporters in celebrating the happy news and wishing the growing family good health and happiness.
