The couple, who have been the epitome of modern romance, are set to walk down the aisle amidst a blaze of glory and public adoration.
The Anticipated White Wedding
Davido confirmed the date for their white wedding last Tuesday, announcing that it would take place today in Lagos. This joyous event follows their traditional wedding, which took place in 2023, solidifying their commitment to one another in a culturally rich ceremony.
While the exact venue of the wedding has not been officially disclosed, speculation suggests it will be held at either Harbour Point or Eko Hotel, both prestigious locations on Victoria Island, Lagos. Regardless of the venue, the high-profile nature of this wedding has captured the imagination and support of fans worldwide.
A Celebration of Love
Davido and Chioma’s relationship has been closely followed by fans, with their love story unfolding like a novel filled with romance, challenges, and public displays of affection. This wedding is not just a personal celebration for the couple but also a significant event for their supporters who have watched their journey with keen interest.
Fans of Davido, known for his hit song “Unavailable,” have been expressing their unwavering support and joy for the couple. The anticipation surrounding the wedding has only heightened with each passing day, as fans eagerly await glimpses of the ceremony and the celebrations that follow.
A Star-Studded Affair
Sources close to the couple have confirmed that the wedding will be attended by celebrities from within Nigeria and abroad, making it a star-studded event. The guest list is strictly by invitation, ensuring an intimate yet glamorous gathering of close friends, family, and notable personalities.
Despite the joyous occasion, Davido is also dealing with a legal battle involving his baby mama, Sophia Momodu, over the custody of their 9-year-old daughter, Imade. Davido, through his legal team, has requested joint custody of Imade, who was born in May 2015. However, his deep affection for Chioma remains evident, and he has consistently shown his love for her publicly.
“Guys, you have to come to Nigeria on the 25th (of June) for my wedding,” he said.
At the weekend, the Afrobeat singer set social media agog, after he shared pre-wedding photos with Chioma on his Instagram page, ahead of their wedding, today, with the hashtag #CHIVIDO2024. He didn’t stop at that, the ‘Aye’ crooner also surprised Chioma with a bridal shower party on Sunday night.
In one of the clips of the videos that surfaced online, the chef was captured narrating how her fiancé planned the party without her knowledge.
She explained that Davido lured her out of the house by telling her that they were going for a dinner date but it turned out to be her bridal shower.
“Let me tell you a story. I know this is an event center and David said we were going to eat.
“He was trying to get the exact location and when we got outside, he asked somebody something and I said, ‘This is not a restaurant. I’m hungry, I want to eat.’ Then I saw balloons, I just started screaming, “she enthused.
As they walk down the asile today, it’s instructive to relive memories of how their love story began in earnest and the hurdles they had to cross to cement their relationship.
Recall that Davido and Chioma met in 2013, as students of the Babcock University. While the singer pursued a degree in music, his fiancée was a student of Economics. At first, they were just friends till 2015, when they started playing hide and seek game. But they couldn’t be called lovers, until 2017, after the pop star officially unveiled Chioma to the world as his girlfriend.
Proving his love for his partner, Davido didn’t only write a song for her but he also convinced Chioma to star in his music video titled “Assurance.”
The relationship was flourishing and Chioma who happens to be Davido’s third baby mama was blessed with a son, on October 20, 2019, Ifeanyi Adeleke, but unfortunately, two three after, the lad got drowned in a swimming pool at his father’s residence in the Banana Island area of Lagos, leaving Davido and his partner heartbroken.
It would also be recalled that the “If” singer had initially proposed to her. The wedding was set to take place in July 2020 but was put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic that was ravaging the world then. Not until February 2021, when it was reported that the lovebirds had split up. The supposed breakup was spurred by loved-up photos of Davido and Instagram model Yafai on holiday in the Caribbean. This was followed by a series of loved-up photos of the two that broke the internet in March 2021.
Besides, there were rumors of Davido having a fourth baby mama, leading to the lovebirds unfollowing each other on Instagram. The development heightened fears that all was not well with Davido and Chioma. Before their critics could blink their eyes, the lovebirds found each other again and were not only able to reconcile their differences but also rekindle their love. The internet was agog, after a video of Chioma attending Davido’s concert started trending online.
The lovebirds reportedly left the venue together! Fans were over the moon and for people who’ve always shipped their relationship they had better news for them. In that reconciliation spirit, Davido gifted Chioma a new Mercedes G-wagon. The gift came in just a week after the singer had revealed that he’d be walking down the aisle with Chioma come 2023.
