Nigerian football star Ademola Lookman has reportedly ended his relationship with his partner, Jayda Love, months after the couple first appeared publicly together during a major football awards ceremony.

The update about their split surfaced online, drawing attention from football fans and followers who had previously noticed the pair’s rare public appearances.

Relationship first became public at CAF Awards

The couple made their first known public appearance at the 2024 CAF Awards held in Marrakech in December 2024.

At the event, Lookman received the prestigious African Footballer of the Year award, marking one of the biggest achievements in his professional career.

The Nigerian forward’s appearance at the ceremony with Jayda Love drew curiosity from fans, as he has mostly kept his personal life away from the spotlight.

Despite the attention surrounding the awards night, the pair maintained a relatively low profile and rarely shared details about their relationship publicly.

Last public outing recorded in May 2025

Reports indicate that the couple’s last public outing together was in May 2025.

This appearance happened when the 28-year-old footballer returned home with his CAF award at the end of the football season.

After that moment, sightings of the pair together became rare, sparking speculation among followers who had begun to notice their absence from each other’s public activities.

Split reportedly happened before Atletico Madrid move

In February 2026, Lookman completed a move to Spanish La Liga club Atlético Madrid.

However, Jayda Love, who is said to be from Oklahoma in the United States, was not present during his official unveiling by the club.

Sources claim the relationship had already ended before the footballer finalised his move to Spain earlier in the year.

The reason behind the breakup has not been publicly disclosed.

A private relationship away from social media

According to earlier reports, the relationship between Lookman and the Dallas-based IT specialist had always been discreet.

The couple reportedly kept their romance away from social media attention and did not even maintain a mutual following on Instagram.
