Just hours after Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Emenike and ex-beauty queen, Iheoma Nnadi got engaged, the duo are rumoured to be expecting their first child.

According to information gathered, sources close to the couple confirmed that the former Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria is in her first trimester, and there are concerns about if the couple will tie the knot before she spots a baby bump.

Emenike became yet another footballer to cop a Nigerian beauty queen when he took their relationship to the next level by popping the marriage question over the weekend.

And she accepted him. “I said yes to my best friend and lover,” Nnadi wrote on her Instagram afterwards, and the footballer added that she is ‘the one’.

Now, the duo are allegedly expecting their first child together, and some nosy fans can’t help but ask if he hurriedly proposed when they found out they are expecting their bundle of joy.

The couple began dating six months ago. And we can’t wait for them to start their family!
