Sportblog247.com can exclusively report that Nigerian international Isaac Imonichie Success has confirmed his relationship with the beautiful Nollywood actress Caroline Areoghene Igben, putting an end to all speculation. The couple is set to formalize their union next month with a traditional marriage ceremony in Orhuwhorun Town, Udu Local Government Area, Delta State, on June 8, 2024.

However, it is uncertain whether key Super Eagles players invited by Success will attend the wedding, as Nigeria will face South Africa’s Bafana Bafana in a crucial 2026 World Cup qualifier the day before.

Success has been absent from the international scene for more than five years, with his last appearance for the senior national team being a friendly against Uganda in November 2018.

The couple met through a mutual friend, former Nigeria U23 captain Erhun Obanor, and their relationship quickly blossomed. Success, who plays for Udinese, hails from the family of Pastor Isaac Ajayi Ogedengbe of Uleyon Quarter, Uzebba-Iuleha, Owan West Local Government Area, Edo State, while Igben is from Delta State.

Caroline, an alumna of the University of Benin, has frequently visited Success in Italy and attends his matches despite her busy schedule. The wedding reception will be held at the Wetland Hotel in Warri, near Mofor Junction.
