As expected, their ten-year age gap didn&#8217;t sit well with the public and the duo received a lot of criticism. Also, many people were of the opinion that Amarachi was too young for marriage.<\/p>\n<p>This gave rise to rumours that the parents of the bride forcefully gave her up for marriage because Kanu Nwankwo was a famous and wealthy footballer. On the contrary, Amarachi in her interviews repeatedly asserted that she married for love and had sincere feelings for her husband. This is also evident in the fact that the couple has lived happily with their children for eighteen (18) years now.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Amarachi Kanu Has Her Hands On Various Businesses<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>After her tertiary education Amarachi Kanu started a career as a fitness trainer and coach. As an entrepreneur, she owns her own fitness line called &#8216;AK Healthy&#8217;. She also has a clothing line which was launched in 2019 and features fitness wears to encourage women&#8217;s health and wellness. Meanwhile, reports also have it that she is the CEO of an interior design company.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/COMwUz6s52A\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

He played in his school at St. John&#8217;s Prep School and also won the English School Football Association Enfield Borough Football tournament for his school.<\/p>\n<p>The young prodigy who currently plays for the U16 Watford team could one day be the next &#8220;Papilo&#8221;, which is a popular fan name for his father.

She asserted, that he stole a ticket meant for her son to watch a match with his dad.<\/p>\n<p>Amara was further fueled when Ogbonna posted a ticket to a football game on his Instagram page, with the caption,\u00a0&#8220;Leeds United game today am there live&#8221;. The fitness coach didn&#8217;t take it laying low. She commented on Ogbonna&#8217;s post depicting him as a &#8216;coward&#8217;, &#8216;liar&#8217;, and a &#8216;borrow pose&#8217;.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Amarachi and Odemwingie Controversy <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"LC20lb MBeuO DKV0Md\">In December 2020, retired Nigerian professional footballer, Osaze Odemwingie took to Instagram to accuse Amara Kanu of sending him unsolicited messages. He allegedly said the legend&#8217;s wife was chasing him, calling her Delilah.<\/p>\n<p>Odemwingie yet struck again as he also reacted to a sign Amara&#8217;s son made in an Instagram post questioning his upbringing. The 39-year-old uncovered that he wasn&#8217;t comfortable with the sign as it was glorifying Satan.<\/p>\n<p>Kanu Nwankwo urged his fans to neglect the charge laid on his wife. He also said the claim is baseless, and people should ignore it. In a later engagement, the 45-year-old demanded a public apology from Odemwingie.<\/p>\n<p>The Russian-born ex-footballer eventually apologized on his Instagram page and ended the long feud. He explained that his jabs were not directed at the Nwankwo family but rather the influence of American culture on our youths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amarachi Kanu Nwankwo (born May 27, 1986, age: years old) is a fitness trainer\/expert, interior designer, entrepreneur, and the wife of Kanu Nwankwo, the Nigerian ex-football legend.
