Iliman Ndiaye’s wife Ioana opened up in an emotional post to mark a special milestone. Ndiaye joined the Blues in the summer of 2024 from Marseille and was their top goalscorerin the Premier League last season with nine goals in 33 appearances.
The forward has enjoyed a strong start to this season too, scoring Everton’s first goal at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in a 2-0 win against Brighton and their second goal in the 3-2 win against Wolves last week.
Away from the pitch, Ndiaye is married to Ioana Ndiaye and the couple have three children together. Ioana regularly posts on her personal Instagrampage to her 58,000 followers.
She took to the social media platform yesterday to mark a special milestone. It was their daughter Naya’s first day at school.
It was an emotional day for Ioana. She posted a picture of her daughter on Instagram and said: “I’m not OK! Ah, so extremely proud of her.”
In a further Instagram post, Ioanna said: “My little girl is starting school today. At 19, I became her mum and together we’ve navigated every chapter side by side.
“Now at four years-old she’s stepping into her own little world, and I couldn’t be prouder of the brave, beautiful and kind soul she’s becoming. Forever my greatest gift. Forever my Naya.”
Many of her close friends and family sent their support to Naya. One said: “Have a gorgeous day Naya.” Another said: “Happy first day at school Naya.”
A third person added: “Hope you had a fabulous first day and made lots of friends.”
Ioana regularly attends Everton games and praised her husband after he scored the final two goals at Goodison Park for the men’s side at the stadium.
She said: “I can’t put into words how proud I am. Two goals on such a historic day and now your name is forever part of Goodison’s story.
The last ever goalscorer at this iconic ground- what a legacy. My heart is so full.” Ioana also added a blue heart emoji.
Ioana appears to be enjoying life on Merseyside. In an Instagram post last December, she posted a series of pictures of her family including one of her and her daughter watching an Everton game at Goodison Park.
There were also images of the family enjoying a fairground ride. In the accompanying caption she said: “Loving this little life of ours.”
