Tolu Arokodare and Mihlali Ndamase Spotted Together at Monaco Grand Prix, Reigniting Romance Rumours

Nigeria international Tolu Arokodare found himself at the centre of renewed dating speculation after photos and videos emerged of him alongside South African content creator Mihlali Ndamase during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, according to reports.

The pair were seen together on a yacht, with Ndamase dressed in a blue dress and Arokodare wearing a white vest. Social media blogger Musa Khawula shared footage of the two on June 7, 2026, describing Arokodare as Ndamase’s “new Nigerian soccer player boyfriend” — though neither party has confirmed the nature of their relationship.

Arokodare, 25, also posted images from the Monaco weekend on his personal Instagram page. Among the items visible in the photos was a platinum Patek Philippe World Time Chronograph (5930P-001) with an emerald green dial, a timepiece valued on the secondary market at approximately $85,000 USD — equivalent to roughly ₦127 million. Ndamase, 29, separately shared her own images from the same Monaco GP weekend on Instagram.

This is not the first time the Wolverhampton Wanderers striker and the South African influencer have been linked. Rumours of a potential romance between the two first circulated in May 2025, after Ndamase was spotted in Dubai and was seen engaging with Arokodare on social media. The interaction generated significant online discussion at the time. However, Arokodare publicly dismissed those rumours, stating that he was single and asking fans to stop linking him romantically to Ndamase. She also denied the reports when they initially emerged, and no relationship between the two has ever been confirmed.

Prior to the Ndamase speculation, Arokodare’s last publicly confirmed relationship was with Dubai-based Zimbabwean influencer Pamela Mlunjwana, during his time at Belgian club Genk. The pair were publicly linked from late 2024 into early 2025 before the relationship reportedly ended. Since then, the striker has remained largely private regarding his personal life.

Arokodare has been a prominent figure in Nigerian football, earning caps for the Super Eagles and establishing himself as a frontline striker at club level. His transfer to Wolverhampton Wanderers marked a significant step in his career progression from Belgium’s Pro League. The Monaco Grand Prix weekend — one of the most high-profile events on the Formula 1 calendar — provided a conspicuous backdrop for the renewed speculation.

As of the time of publication, neither Arokodare nor Ndamase has issued any statement addressing their latest joint appearance. The situation remains unconfirmed, and all characterisations of their relationship are based on social media activity and reports rather than any official acknowledgement from either party.
