Borussia Dortmund sensation Karim Adeyemi and his girlfriend are not letting critics get in the way of their happiness, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 22-year-old footballer, who is of Nigerian descent, recently wowed fans with a spectacular training goal ahead of Dortmund’s clash with PSG last Tuesday.
Adeyemi’s football prowess is however not the only aspect of his life that has fans talking. His relationship with Albanian rapper Loredana Zefi has continued to spark conversations.
The 28-year-old Loredana recently reignited the buzz with adorable photos of her and Adeyemi on social media. The post even had some fans speculating about a secret baby, due to a picture of Adeyemi holding a child.
Their romance initially caused a stir last year when photos of them together surfaced, after multiple speculations on the nature of their relationship. Adeyemi and his artiste bae had managed to keep their relationship a secret for six months before it became public knowledge.
The news of their relationship was one which amassed mixed reactions from fans and followers of both parties. While some celebrated their love, others focused on the six-year age gap and Loredana’s status as a divorced woman with children.
The Albanian rapper also faced backlash from Dortmund fans earlier this year, with some attributing Adeyemi’s unimpressive form to their relationship. Adeyemi was quick to come to her defense, stating that it was unfair judgement.
Despite the scrutiny, Adeyemi and Loredana have continued to wax strong, openly expressing their love, regardless of the opinions of critics.
