Footballer Kelechi Nwakali Marries Lover Hadiza Traditionally, Insiders Insists He Was Never Married To Anyone Else

International footballer Kelechi Nwakali has quietly traditionally married his girlfriend Hadiza, even though he publicly declared on Sunday, June 7, 2026, that June 6 was “on lockdown.”




Insiders whispered to SDK Blog that although Kelechi and his daughter’s mother, Jacqueline, ended things about three years ago, she was unsettled by how quickly he moved on with Hadiza and allegedly set tongues wagging that he was snatched by her friend.

Contrary to the narratives circulating online since Kelechi announced his marital status, those close to the situation insist he was never married to Jacqueline; but only expressed interest in marrying her when their daughter was born, but the relationship collapsed completely after she returned to her parents’ home while he was still abroad.

According to the source, she left the relationship first, and by the time Kelechi returned to Nigeria, he chose not to revive the union, though the exact cause of their breakup remains undisclosed.

When SDK pressed further, asking whether Hadiza had been Jacqueline’s friend and “snatched” him, the insider clarified that the women were never friends and that Jacqueline only met Hadiza through Kelechi, and that although Kelechi and Hadiza were initially just acquaintances, their romance began only after Jacqueline moved out.

The newly married couple are now preparing for their church wedding, and Kelechi has already added the Igbo name ‘Chidera’ to Hadiza’s names.
At this stage, it may be best for Kelechi to address the swirling narratives and put the matter to rest.
