Amara shared photos of their trip, including images of them wearing matching Nike AF 1 sneakers, further stirring rumours about their relationship status.
Adding to the intrigue, Amara has been seen supporting Chukwueze at various matches and events.
She has also been linked to other Nigerian influencers, including Asiwaju Lerry, a close friend of Chukwueze, which has only added layers to the public's curiosity.
