Super Eagles striker and Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen and his partner Stefanie Kim Ladewig have welcomed their second child, a baby girl named Liora Audrey.

The Turkish Süper Lig champions announced the news on Thursday via their official social media channels.

In a post obtained from Galatasaray’s X handle on Friday, the club posted, “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 marks the couple’s second child together.

They are already parents to daughter Hailey.

Osimhen, the 27-year-old Nigeria Super Eagles striker, has been in strong form for Galatasaray this season.

The birth comes shortly after reports that Ladewig was involved in a minor road accident in Istanbul earlier this month while pregnant; she was unhurt.

The Nigerian international is expected to link up with the squad ahead of Galatasaray’s upcoming Süper Lig fixture against Konyaspor.

“Congratulations have poured in from fans and media across Nigeria and Turkey for the growing Osimhen family,” the club’s post read.
