Alex Iwobi Reunites with Ex Clarisse Juliette After 8 Years

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi recently appeared alongside his ex-girlfriend, Clarisse Juliette, marking their first public interaction eight years after their well-publicized breakup in 2017.

The unexpected reunion took place during a casual fashion segment where Iwobi and Juliette discussed who the best-dressed footballer might be. After several contenders, the final choice was between Iwobi himself and Corinthians star Memphis Depay. Iwobi cheekily selected himself as the style winner.

What really caught attention wasn’t the fashion debate but the fact that Juliette was sitting right there with him, sparking buzz on social media.

The Backstory: A High-Profile Breakup

Back in May 2017, Iwobi, then an emerging talent at Arsenal, and Juliette, a UK-based model and influencer, ended their four-year relationship. Their romance had been visible on Instagram through matching outfits and shared travel photos.

After the split, they unfollowed each other on social media, and Juliette posted a cryptic message hinting at infidelity: "Once a cheater, always a cheater. It’s true people don’t change." This fueled rumors of cheating allegations against Iwobi, which he never publicly addressed.

Following their breakup, Juliette was briefly linked to American rapper Swae Lee, though that was never confirmed.

Current Status and Reactions

Neither Iwobi nor Juliette has commented on their recent joint appearance. Meanwhile, reports suggest Iwobi is currently dating UK influencer Ellie Mae, though that relationship remains unconfirmed publicly.

Fans were surprised to see the pair reunited in 2025, something few expected.
