Nigeria international Victor Osimhen has blurred a photo of his daughter Hailey’s face as he celebrates her second birthday.
Hailey was born in Italy on October 6, 2022. Her mother is Stefanie Ladewig, a German with Cameroonian roots.
Sharing photos and a video of her on Instagram on Sunday, Osimhen said he was thankful to God for giving her another year.
“Thank you GOD for giving my child another year in this new era. I’m hoping that this year will be marked by many instances of your goodness in our lives,continue to shower her with your grace,kindness and infinite mercy,” the Galatasaray star wrote.
He also prayed that God would keep her away from harm.
“Keep her on the right track and away from harmful forces amen! Happy Birthday My Love,” he wrote.
In 2022, Osimhen spoke about his daughter in an interview with Il Martino.
He said, “It is the most fantastic thing that could have happened to me.
“I celebrate her after each goal, making the gesture of the initial of her name, H. Her name is Hailey.
“I always want her close to me, because this is the memory I too always have of my father, him by my side all the time.
“Time with her is precious. I want her to become a woman who always feels like she has her father by her side.”
Osimhen, 25, has been left out of Nigeria’s squad for the doubleheader 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Libya due to injury.
