Okobi, who stayed away from football, became a mother after giving birth to her first child four months ago.
In September, the former Delta Queens star shared a heartwarming social media post of herself holding her newborn to announce the arrival of her child.
The pictures come after she proudly showed off her growing baby bulge during an earlier pregnancy reveal.
