Victor Osimhen balances his professional football career with precious time spent with his family, particularly his daughter, Hailey. He also frequently showcases his fashion taste on social media.

Osimhen first gained international attention at the 2015 U-17 World Cup in Chile, where he scored a record-breaking 10 goals in seven matches. His stellar performance helped the Golden Eaglets win their fifth title.

Following the tournament, he earned a move to Europe with VfL Wolfsburg. While his early years in Europe were challenging, he has since emerged as one of the best and most sought-after strikers in world football.

His life took a significant turn when Hailey was born. He now views himself as a role model for her and strives to live in a way that would make her proud, particularly with the example he set in Lagos.

Growing up in Lagos shaped Osimhen's perspective, and it has influenced the life he now shares with his partner, Stephanie Kim Ladewig. Together, they have a daughter named Hailey, marking the beginning of their own family.

On October 6, 2022, Osimhen's life changed after welcoming his first child, a girl, with his partner Ladewig, in the midst of Napoli's chase for their first title in 33 years.

Her birth ushered in great things for him: he became the highest scoring African in the Serie A in a single season with 26 goals, winning the Golden Boot and Napoli eventually won the title.

Osimhen confirmed that the arrival of his daughter gave him the boost to focus and lead Napoli to the title, admitting that she was going through a difficult moment before she arrived.

“When she [Kim] told me [she was pregnant], it was like a big ease in my body and my mind, and it was one of the reasons why I could focus on last season and do well,” he told Obi One Podcast.

He added that his life changed when Haly was born, as he became an example for her, and all his efforts are for his daughter to see him as someone who lived well.

“Her birth has really changed me a lot on and off the pitch, and when I grind now on the pitch, I grind for my daughter because I really want to set an example for her on and off the pitch to see the life her father has lived before and what he has become now,” he added.

The striker puts his daughter at the centre of his plans and reportedly requested an educational scholarship for her as part of his conditions to sign for Al-Ahli in 2023, a move which was blocked by Napoli.

Galatasaray surprised the striker by letting Hailey announce his father's title-winning goal against Kayserispor. She led the fans by chanting Victor, to which they responded Osimhen.

Legit.ng previously explained why Osimhen hides his daughter’s face whenever he uploads her pictures on his social media pages.

The Galatasaray loan forward has yet to reveal her face to the world, either it is blurred in pictures or her back is shown, a typical technique by celebrities to protect their children.
