Love story
Davido and Chioma had known each other for more than 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 his 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 following 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 presentation was held privately on November 6, 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.
Establishing
In several interviews, Davido has reflected on his journey with Chioma.
While appearing on The Bridge podcast, he shared that he met Chioma before he achieved his current fame and financial success. Highlighting the importance of her early relationship, she stated that it laid a solid foundation for her marriage.
In the interview, which featured Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni, French model Cindy Bruna and former CEO of Swiss luxury watchmaker 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 perhaps he would not have established a relationship with any woman if he had not met his wife before achieving fame.
The ‘Unavailable’ hitmaker said: “I have a friend who is very rich but single, and every time I talk to my wife on the phone, he says he has everything in the world, but what he lacks is a wife. .
“I met my wife before I had money, but I told myself that if I didn’t meet her and now I’m single and I meet a girl, I know it won’t be the same.”
