Ogbonna Kanu, a former international footballer, has cut off his hair for the first time in many years to celebrate his wife, Laura Ikeji ahead of her birthday, 15th March.

The retired soccer star took to his Instagram page to show off his new looks.

He wrote: “This is for you my wife, it’s never enough to say what I feel for you, I adore you. You’ve always been my strength, I want to thank you for being my wife. @lauraikeji #newlook #support”

Laura Ikeji responded to the gesture by stating that it is the best gift she’s ever received.

“It’s her best birthday gift ever “Dude cut his braids for me!!!!! Haaaaa, best birthday gift everrrrr!!! My baby for life! kinda liked the braids too,’ she replied.

Recall that few weeks ago, Ogbonna was accused by his elder brother’s wife, Amara Kanu, of being too dependent on his elder brother, former Super Eagles player, Kanu Nwankwo.

This she did when she called him out in a social media post after he posted tickets to a football game.

Amara Kanu reacted by claiming the tickets belong to her son and his father, Kanu.
