Pulse Sports reported that Amarachi and Kelechi Iheanacho have been together for nine years.
The couple’s relationship has endured its fair share of rumours and scandals.
In 2020, it was alleged that Iheanacho had fathered a number of children after having an affair with other women outside of his relationship with Amarachi, who was also based in the UK with the Foxes star.
However, neither the player nor his girlfriend confirmed the rumours, and it remains unclear if the allegations were true.
Despite this, the couple’s love for each other has grown stronger over the years.
It was also reported that Iheanacho had already paid Amarachi’s bride price in May 2019, and she is understood to be a favourite amongst the player’s family members.
