Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s wife: Who is the lady ex-Manchester City talent called “My Love”

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.
