Love story

Davido and Chioma have known each other for over 20 years before starting their relationship.

The couple, who welcomed twins in October 2023 in the United States, had previously confirmed their union months ago.

This confirmation came after a period of speculation following the tragic loss of their son, Ifeanyi, in October 2022.

Their court wedding took place in March 2023, as Davido confirmed in an interview with media personality Kie Kie.

Previous speculations
The initial news of their marriage made headlines in December 2023 after the loss of their son, Ifeanyi, in 2022.

PREMIUM TIMES reported that Davido later confirmed the marriage in a March 2024 interview, explaining his decision to marry Chioma after years of speculation.

The couple’s introduction was held privately on 6 November 2022 at Davido’s father’s house, with very few attendees and no cameras allowed.

Davido also reportedly paid Chioma’s bride price in full.

Settling down
In several interviews, Davido has reflected on his journey with Chioma.

While appearing on The Bridge podcast, he recounted meeting Chioma before achieving his current fame and financial success. Stressing the importance of their early relationship, he stated that it laid a strong foundation for their marriage.

The interview, which featured Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni, French model Cindy Bruna, and the former CEO of Swiss luxury watch Audemars Piguet, François-Henry Bennahmias, Davido revealed how he met his wife, Chioma.

Davido said he met Chioma when he lacked financial stability and fame.

The singer stated that he might not have settled down with any woman if he hadn’t met his wife before he attained fame.

The ‘Unavailable’ hitmaker said: “I have a friend who is very rich but single, and every time I am on the phone with my wife, he says he has everything in the world, but a wife is what he is missing.

“I met my wife before I had money, but I told myself that if I didn’t meet her and now I am single and meet a girl, I already know it won’t be the same.”
