Osimhen welcomes baby girl Liora Audrey after partner's pregnancy scare
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen and partner Stefanie Kim Ladewig have welcomed their second child, a baby girl named Liora Audrey. Galatasaray, Osimhen's Turkish club, announced the birth Thursday in a statement congratulating the couple: "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!"
The arrival comes two weeks after Ladewig, a model, escaped injury in a three-vehicle crash in Istanbul's Eyupsultan district while eight months pregnant. On October 13, her SUV collided with a light commercial vehicle before hitting another SUV in the Mithatpasa neighbourhood of Kemerburgaz. Though vehicles sustained damage, no injuries were reported. Ladewig was taken to a private hospital in Maslak for precautionary checks due to her pregnancy and discharged after examination.
Osimhen, 27, remains a key figure for Nigeria's national team while starring for Galatasaray in the Turkish Süper Lig. The birth adds to his growing family as he continues his professional career in Türkiye, where he has become a fan favourite since joining the Istanbul giants.
