Davido Opens Up About Marriage to Chioma After 8 Years of Living Together
Nigerian music superstar Davido has shared insights into his marriage with his wife, Chioma Adeleke, revealing that they lived together for eight years before officially tying the knot.
During a recent interview, the singer disclosed that he and Chioma, whom he met in university, had been living together for almost a decade before getting married, which made their transition into married life relatively smooth.
“My partner and I have been living together for a long time prior to getting married. I met her in my third year in college, and I was lucky enough for us to move in together early—about eight years before we got married,” he said.
Despite their deep-rooted bond, Davido admitted that marriage comes with its own set of challenges. While the transition was smooth, he acknowledged that marriage brings a different dynamic to their relationship, emphasizing that “getting married is no joke.”
Davido also highlighted Chioma’s unwavering support throughout the years, especially given the nature of his career, which requires him to be on the road frequently.
“Throughout the time we were living together, I was touring and really on the road. She always understood what I did for work, and she knows I’m at my happiest when I work. She knows I love music as she loves being in the kitchen.”
The pair officially tied the knot in a grand traditional wedding ceremony in Lagos State in June 2024. The event was one of the most anticipated celebrity weddings of the year, especially since their nuptials were initially planned for 2020.
Their marriage came after the couple welcomed a set of twins in the US in 2023. The joyful moment was captured in a viral photo showing Chioma holding their newborn babies while seated in a wheelchair outside a hospital.
Davido and Chioma’s journey from university sweethearts to life partners has been an inspiring one, and fans continue to celebrate their love story.
