His Family
The Ahmed Musa marriage that I know of her two. He's been involved in two marriages.
Ahmed Musa first wife was Jamila Musa with whom he had two beautiful children, a boy, and a girl. The son's name is Ahmed Musa Junior and the daughter's name is Halima Musa.
Ahmed and Jamila got involved in a terrible fight and the former Leicester City forward blamed Jamila for flagging down the police on him and stating a family harassment accusation that he denied. Still, Ahmed was arrested.
Ahmed Musa marriage took another turn and then he got himself another wife, Juliet Ejue.

The Nigerian international wedded Juliet Ejue in May 2017. They celebrated their first-anniversary last year. Ahmed says he does not regret his first marriage and hopes that the second will be even happier and long-lasting.
On the 27th of July 2018, Ahmed Musa announced that he became a father for the third time when he posted a lovely photo of his newborn baby on his Instagram account. The baby was born in Velden, Austria.

Ahmed Musa biography won't be complete if I don't delve into his family matters.
