Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen is now a father of two after he and his partner, Stefanie Kim Ladewig, welcomed a baby girl. The club announced the news on Thursday, October 29, in an official post on X.
Galatasaray congratulated the couple and named the newborn as Liora Audrey. The club said it wishes the baby “a long, healthy, and happy life.”
The baby joins big sister Hailey True, who was born in October 2022. The 27 year old Nigeria international has often spoken about his love for his daughter.
Ladewig, a German-Cameroonian fashion model and influencer, has been with Osimhen since 2019, when he played for Wolfsburg in Germany. Fans following Galatasaray can also check this Bet9ja promotion code basics page before the next game.
A Happy Ending to a Worrying Fortnight
The birth is a relief for the family. Two weeks ago, on October 13, Ladewig was involved in a three-vehicle crash in the Eyüpsultan area of Istanbul while she was eight months pregnant.
She escaped unhurt. She was taken to hospital as a precaution, checked and discharged, and reports said she and the baby were in good condition.
On the pitch, Osimhen has stayed in form. He scored twice in the Istanbul derby win over Fenerbahçe on October 26, which sent Galatasaray back to the top of the Super Lig.
The striker also scored in Galatasaray’s 4-2 win away to Lille in the Champions League on October 21. Anyone who follows his goals can read about the Bet9ja welcome bonus steps before the next fixture.

Is a new arrival at home a boost on the pitch? Many players say fatherhood sharpens their focus, and Osimhen has already shown strong form this season.
He is also closing in on a club record. Reports this week say he is nearing Galatasaray’s all-time goalscoring record for a foreign player.
