Who is Daniella Okocha?

Daniella Okocha is the eldest child of Nigerian football legend Austin Jay-Jay Okocha, born to the attacker on June 24, 1998, during his time at Fenerbahce.

According to her social profiles, the 26-year-old is a lawyer with experience in contract bidding, a content creator, a socialite and an entrepreneur.

She connects with her fans via her Instagram page, which is filled with pictures from her outings and others with her father, constantly praising the football legend.

Okocha speaks about his family

Okocha had a pretty nomadic career, moving from Germany to Turkey to France to England to Qatar before retiring with Hull City in England in 2008.

He started his family at the peak of his career, but admitted that it was not difficult for him because he had a supportive wife who saw it as part of building the family.

"It comes with the career, and once you understand it and have a very supportive wife, it makes everything easier,” he told This Day Style.
“Of course, it is also an opportunity to be more exposed to and learn about different cultures. For me, I used to see it as work, and moving from one city to another is part of the job. It was all for the future of the family.”

Daniella reveals the number of her tattoos

Legit.ng previously reported that Daniella Okocha revealed that she had 21 tattoos and 18 piercings during a bare it all session on Instagram during her birthday years ago.

Though the body paintings are not visible from the pictures she shared on her Instagram, fans lampooned the daughter of the iconic footballer for having that much ink on her body.
