bayern manager Vincent Kompany is under a fresh public tease from former Manchester City teammate Nedum Onuoha, who said he was not invited to Kompany’s 2011 wedding after introducing him to Carla Higgs. Onuoha said the snub came after years of friendship and after he played matchmaker in Manchester.
Onuoha’s Manchester Claim
Onuoha made the remarks on the In The Mixer podcast and kept the accusation simple: “I introduced him to his wife… We’ve been friends for years… Married, kids! Did I get invited to the wedding? No, I didn’t.” He followed that with a sharper line: “He took everything from me!”
That version of events puts a personal twist on a relationship that began inside the Manchester City dressing room. Kompany joined the club in 2008, and the two were teammates until January 2012, but Onuoha said the connection started earlier, when he introduced Kompany to his friend Carla in Manchester.
Kompany And Carla Higgs
Kompany and Carla Higgs married in 2011 and have three children together. Onuoha also married in 2011, to Lucy Onuoha, and the couple have three children; their first child, Amaia, was born in April 2014.
For Onuoha, the story lands as a personal grievance rather than a football dispute, but it still pulls two former City defenders back into the same frame. He made his senior debut for Manchester City in 2004 and played ninety-five Premier League matches for the club across an eight-year spell, so his account carries the weight of a long shared history with Kompany.
City Teammates To Now
The exchange also underlines how much their paths have split since those Manchester years. Kompany is now Bayern Munich manager, while Onuoha is left telling a story that mixes friendship, marriage, and a wedding guest list that did not include the man who introduced the bride and groom.
