The attacking midfielder wore a black leather jacket closed over the top while opting for a pair of comfortable blue and white Nike sneakers.
He completed his look by wearing a black baseball cap and walking with his hands in his pockets.
It comes after Cindy told Dele that she was proud of him after he bravely opened up about the traumatic events that happened in his life.
In a heartbreaking interview with Gary Neville, the former Spurs midfielder spoke about his career struggles, battles with addiction and attending rehab on an episode of The Overlap.
The football star also revealed how he was abused at the age of six and started selling drugs at the age of eight, before being adopted four years later.
The England international was moved to tears as he spoke candidly with Manchester United legend Neville, as he hoped opening up could help others cope with their trauma.
And after the interview aired, Dele’s girlfriend Kimberly, 24, took to social media to support him.
“Proud of you,” Kimberly wrote on Instagram last month.

Alli was heralded as a generational talent during his early days at Tottenham, but his career has not turned out as many predicted.
The English star emerged as one of the top young stars in the country, despite a troubled childhood that saw him placed in foster care.
In a candid conversation with Gary, Dele revealed that he recently spent a stint in rehab after becoming addicted to sleeping pills.
He said: ‘I became addicted to sleeping tablets, it’s a problem not just me. It goes around more than people realize in football.
“This is probably the right time to tell people. It’s hard to talk about it because it’s quite recent and something that I’ve kept hidden for a long time and I’m afraid to talk about it.
“When I came back from Turkey (after a rental period at Besiktas) I came back and found out that I needed an operation.
“I was in a bad place mentally. I decided to go to modern rehab that deals with addiction and mental health and trauma. I felt it was time for me.
“You can’t be told to go there, you have to make the decision yourself.

“I was in a bad cycle. I trusted things that hurt me. I woke up every day, won the fight and went to practice smiling every day – willing to show that I was happy.
“Inside I was losing the battle and it was time to change. When I was told I needed surgery I could feel the feelings I had when the cycle started.
“So I went there for six weeks. Everton were amazing and supportive, I will be forever grateful to them. That they were so honest and understanding that I couldn’t ask for anything more at a time when I was making the biggest decision of my life – doing something I was afraid of. I’m glad I did.
“There’s a stigma about it and it’s something people don’t want to do. Going into rehab is scary, but I never imagined how much of it I would get.
“I was in a bad place. A lot happened to me when I was younger that I couldn’t understand and I did stupid things that I blamed myself for.
“Going there and learning about it, it was never really in my control.
‘Learning to understand has helped. I let go of some bad feelings that held me back.’
Alli shared poignant details about his traumatic childhood, including an incident where he was abused by a friend of his birth mother.

“(My childhood is) something I haven’t talked about very much, to be honest. I mean, I think there were a few incidents that could give you a brief understanding,” Alli continued.
‘So when I was six, my mother’s friend, who was around the house a lot, harassed me. My mother was an alcoholic, and that happened at six. I was sent to Africa to learn discipline, and then I was sent back.
‘I started smoking when I was seven, when I was eight I started dealing drugs. An older person told me they wouldn’t stop a kid on a bike, so I rode around with my soccer ball, and then I had the drugs under that, that was eight of them. Eleven, I was hung from a bridge by a man from the next ward, a man.
“Twelve, I was adopted — and from then on it was like — I was adopted by an amazing family, like I said, I couldn’t have asked for better people to do what they did for me. If God created humans, it was them.
“They were amazing, and they helped me a lot, and that was another thing, you know — when I started living with them, it was hard for me to really open up to them, because I felt inside, it was easy to get rid of. I tried to be the best kid I could be for them. I stayed with them from the age of 12 and then started playing professionally in the first team when I was 16.
In rehab, Alli said, he was taught to view his childhood in a different light.

“They taught me in rehab, I can’t say I was a bad boy, but I got in trouble a lot, you know, with the police. I had no rules, I grew up without rules. Like I said, my mom drank a lot and I don’t blame her at all for what happened.
“I think going to[rehab]really helped me understand her and the things she was going through and dealing with, and it was all she knew.
“Being in rehab now has helped me understand her better—that was all she knew. Like, even when she let me go and I got adopted, she knew and I knew it was what it took to even have a chance to live the life I wanted to live and be successful. And because it only went one way if I stayed there.’
The impact of his troubled childhood led to feelings of betrayal in the player, and Alli stated that he has no interest in a relationship with his biological mother or father.
