Nigerian music star Davido and his wife, Chioma Rowland, sparked curiosity among fans after Chioma described their recent Miami wedding ceremony as their third marital celebration. The couple, who officially tied the knot in a lavish June 25 ceremony in Lagos followed by a weekend white wedding in Miami, shared the unexpected detail during a casual video exchange hours before their U.S. event.
“Is it up to 24 hours? Less than 24 hours. Getting married for the third time,” Chioma said with a laugh in the clip, which circulated widely on social media. Her remark left followers puzzled, as only two ceremonies—the Nigerian traditional rites in 2023 and the Miami event—had been publicly documented. Speculation surged online, with many suggesting the third occasion could refer to a private civil union or a formal introduction ceremony, common in Igbo cultural traditions.
The Lagos ceremony last year, attended by high-profile guests, was widely covered as their official union. However, neither the couple nor representatives have clarified the nature of the third event. Media Talk Africa noted no public record of a court-registered marriage, raising questions about whether the reference was anecdotal or tied to cultural practices.
Fans debated the possibilities on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), with some emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between symbolic, legal, and cultural ceremonies in Nigerian matrimonial customs. Others humorously speculated about secret vow renewals. The couple, who share twin children, have maintained privacy around their relationship timeline, fueling ongoing interest in their personal milestones.
The Miami celebration, held at a luxury waterfront venue, featured appearances by international celebrities, underscoring Davido’s global influence in Afrobeats. While the white wedding garnered extensive media coverage, Chioma’s offhand comment has since dominated conversations, highlighting the intersection of celebrity culture, tradition, and public curiosity. A video snippet of the exchange, shared by user @dammiedammie35 on X, has amassed thousands of views, reflecting the duo’s enduring prominence in pop culture narratives.
