Reports circulating online suggest that Nigerian football sensation Ademola Lookman has ended his relationship with his partner, Jayda Love, months after the couple first stepped into the public eye together.
The news of the reported breakup has sparked discussions among football fans and social media followers who had previously noticed the pair’s limited but notable public appearances.
Relationship First Came to Light at CAF Awards
The relationship between Lookman and Jayda Love first gained public attention during the prestigious CAF Awards held in Marrakech in December 2024.
During the event, Lookman achieved a major milestone in his career when he was crowned African Footballer of the Year.
His appearance at the ceremony alongside Jayda Love quickly caught the attention of fans, largely because the Super Eagles forward has consistently kept his personal life away from the public spotlight.
Despite the attention generated at the awards ceremony, the couple remained relatively private and rarely shared information about their relationship publicly.
Last Public Appearance in May 2025
According to reports, the last time the pair were seen together publicly was in May 2025.
The outing occurred when the 28-year-old forward returned home after the football season with his CAF award. After that moment, public sightings of the couple reportedly became scarce.
This absence from each other’s public activities gradually fueled speculation among fans who noticed they were no longer appearing together.
Breakup Allegedly Happened Before Atlético Madrid Move
In February 2026, Lookman completed a high-profile transfer to Spanish La Liga side Atlético Madrid.
However, Jayda Love was notably absent during the football star’s official unveiling at the club. Sources familiar with the situation claim the relationship had already ended before the Nigerian forward finalized his move to Spain.
As of the time of writing, neither Lookman nor Jayda Love has publicly commented on the reported split, and the exact reason behind the breakup remains unknown.
A Very Private Relationship
Earlier reports indicated that the relationship between Lookman and the Dallas-based IT specialist was intentionally kept out of the spotlight.
The couple reportedly maintained a low-key romance and did not actively showcase their relationship on social media. Interestingly, they were also said not to follow each other on Instagram, further highlighting their preference for privacy.
While fans continue to speculate about the situation, both individuals appear focused on their respective careers and personal lives.
