Who Is The Lady Ex-Manchester City Talent Called “My Love”; Did Dele-Bashiru Married Bensouna? DETAILS EMERGE
Super Eagles midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has recently unveiled his partner via his social media page, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Nigerian has made headlines for football reasons over the past few weeks, but a different kind of spotlight has now followed the Super Eagles midfielder after a photo of him and his partner went viral on social media.
The image, which Fisayo himself shared on Instagram, shows him standing beside a young woman he affectionately called “My love.”
The post quickly found its way onto X, pushed by Nigerian journalist Sulaiman Adebayo known as Pooja among other popular accounts.
Meanwhile, out of curiosity, many have been asking: Who is the lady by his side?
Who Is Nana Bensouna?
The woman in the viral photo is Nana Bensouna, a 23-year-old Moroccan model who quietly married Dele-Bashiru this year.
Sources close to the player confirm that the pair held a private Nikkah ceremony in Manchester, UK, in August 2025, attended only by close family and a few trusted friends.
Bensouna, who has built a growing modelling and lifestyle presence online, has largely stayed out of the public football spotlight until the image surfaced.
Although, her low-profile demeanour contrasts with the buzz surrounding her husband, whose season at Lazio has been turbulent due to early-season injuries and squad-list complications.
Did Fisayo Dele-Bashiru Married Bensouna?
The Super Eagles midfielder officially tied the knot with Bensouna and the intimate event was attended by the couple’s parents—Otunba and Yeye Jagunmola Dele, Dupe Bashiru-Kaka, and Mr. and Mrs. Bensouna—along with close family members.
The pictures of the newly-weds were not found on their pages but a glimpse of their marriage celebration was spotted on a few social media pages with Nana appearing in a traditional Moroccan Caftan and Fisayo dressed in native attire.
The pair, who have largely kept their romance private, first went public with their relationship in December 2024 during Lazio’s Christmas party, and fans have since celebrated the news of their marriage.

Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, has hailed Brazil legend Ronaldo Nazario as one of the greatest players of all-time in the FIFA World Cup scoring charts after scoring a hat-trick in his side’s 3-0 win over Algeria this week.
Messi also expressed surprise that the former Inter Milan and Real Madrid striker wasn’t in first place.
The 38-year-old Inter Miami forward surpassed Ronaldo’s 15 World Cup goals before equalling Germany legend Miroslav Klose’s 16 World Cup goals, thanks to his three goals against Algeria in their World Cup opener.
“It is a great honour to be able to compete with all these greats, including Ronaldo Nazario, among the players I have watched,” Messi said (as per Albiceleste Talk).
“He was one of the greatest players of all time, and yet he is not in first place. So in the end, it’s just a statistic.”
Messi will now hope to lead Argentina to victory when they face Austria in their next game.
DR Congo midfielder, Ngal Ayel Mukau, has admitted there was no tactical plan to contain Cristiano Ronaldo in their 2026 World Cup opener. The Leopards held Portugal to a 1-1 draw on Wednesday, after Yohan Wissa’s header cancelled out Joao Neves’ goal.
Speaking to TNT Sports after the game, Mukau accepted Ronaldo is still one of the greatest players, but is not the same as before.
He said: “A special plan to contain Cristiano Ronaldo? To be honest, not really.
“We know that he isn’t the same as before. He’s a bit older now. But still, he’s one of the greatest… much respect to him.” Mukau’s comments come amid calls from fans and pundits for Ronaldo to be given limited playing time in the national team.
Ghana won a dramatic 1-0 victory over Panama in their opening World Cup Group L clash in Toronto on Wednesday.
Caleb Yirenkyi bundled in the winning goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time, sending thousands of Ghanaians in Canada’s largest city into a frenzy and settling an otherwise attritional battle.
Both sides largely struggled to generate chances in the first half after Panama striker Cecilio Waterma’s second minute attempt was steered away by outstretched Ghana goalkeeper Lawrence Ati Zigi.
The Black Stars didn’t attempt a shot on goal through the first half.
The second half played out under steady rain at the Toronto Stadium but saw more sustained attacking play.
Cristian Martinez triggered a massive roar from the loud Panamanian contingent when he lashed a shot into the side-netting in the 60th minute.
But the match looked headed for a scoreless draw until Yirenkyi put the Black Stars ahead.
Ghana’s veteran coach Carlos Queiroz turned to his side’s fans after the goal, urging them on in celebration.
Queiroz only took charge of the Black Stars a couple of months before the start of the tournament.
Wednesday’s fixture made him only the second coach to appear in five consecutive World Cups, after leading Portugal in 2010 and Iran in 2014, 2018 and 2022.
Loud boos rang out across the crowd of nearly 43,000 during a second-half hydration break under pouring rain.
Ghana triumphed despite being without Villarreal midfielder Thomas Partey, who is facing trial on rape charges in Britain. Canadian authorities denied him a World Cup visa, over the British case.
Colombia beat debutant Uzbekistan
Colombia beat World Cup debutants Uzbekistan 3-1 in their opening Group K game on Wednesday thanks to an inspired performance from Luis Diaz at the Estadio Azteca.
The Bayern Munich forward provided an assist, a goal and also hit the post as the Colombians resisted a battling performance from the Uzbeks in front of 80,824 spectators in Mexico City.
Diaz’s superb lofted pass allowed Daniel Munoz to volley in after 40 minutes, but Abbosbek Fayzullaev equalized with his nation’s maiden World Cup goal as he reacted first to head in a rebound from Eldor Shomurodov’s saved volley.
Diaz put Colombia back into the lead as he fired a shot that Uzbek goalkeeper Utkir Yusupov should have stopped.
In the dying seconds Jaminton Campaz made it three for Colombia with a fine header.
The win put Colombia top of a group that also features Portugal and the Democratic Republic of Congo, who drew 1-1 earlier.
