Inside Nigeria’s Most Loved Celebrity Relationships of 2025

111

Nigerians love reading romantic stories and fairy tales. They often argue about GOATs, stream music, and watch movies, but when it comes to couples, we still have clear favourites. When we talk about the most loved celebrity relationships in 2025, it’s not just about matching outfits and Instagram captions, but it’s about couples who survived drama and still chose each other, long-term marriages that are older than some fans and “wedding of the year” moments that shut down timelines. Articles, polls, and social media trends show that some favourite Nigerian celebrity couples keep coming up, and we will highlight these couples in this article.

Top 5 Favourite Nigerian Celebrity Couples

1. Davido and Chioma 

If you conduct a poll on the most popular Nigerian celebrity couples of 2025, Davido and Chioma will undoubtedly top the list. An Instagram post from entertainment outlet QED in February 2025 even said, “Everyone says it’s Chioma and Davido” when asking followers for their favourite couple. 

By mid–2025, the Davido and Chioma relationship had passed “just celebrity gist” and entered proper fairy-tale territory. They had their traditional wedding in Lagos in 2024, which dominated social media under the #Chivido hashtag, followed by an earlier court ceremony, and then a lavish “Chivido 2025” wedding in Miami on August 10th, described by multiple outlets as a multimillion-dollar, star-studded white wedding that “brought Lagos to Miami.” Vogue and other lifestyle platforms framed the Miami ceremony as a global Afrobeats-meets-luxury moment, with Chioma in custom gowns and Davido in sharp suits, surrounded by more than 1,000 guests from music, business, and politics. 

Despite scandals and online drama surrounding Davido in mid-2025, including cheating allegations that circulated on Snapchat and other platforms, fan discussions still described Davido and Chioma’s relationship as a story of resilience and second chances. A July 2025 feature called their love “a symbol of resilience, faith and loyalty in love” and said Nigerians were emotionally invested in seeing them win. 

2. Mr. Eazi and Temi Otedola

If 2025 had a movie-script wedding, aside from Chivido, it was the Mr Eazi and Temi Otedola wedding. According to coverage of their multi-city celebrations, the couple held three major wedding events: Monaco, Dubai and Iceland, across May, July and August 2025. The estimated cost was roughly $10–15 million, making it one of the most expensive weddings ever linked to Nigerian entertainment. 

Mr Eazi is an Afrobeats star and tech investor, while his bride, Temi Otedola, is an actress, fashion girl and daughter of billionaire Femi Otedola. Fans have followed their romance since 2017, and by the time the Mr. Eazi and Temi Otedola wedding was announced in 2025, there were whispers of “God when” from single men and women. In many 2025 social media debates about Nigeria’s most loved celebrity relationships, their names sit comfortably beside Davido and Chioma and Banky and Adesua.

3. Banky W and Adesua Etomi

If Davido and Chioma are the new sailing ship, Banky W and Adesua Etomi have already been on this ship and have been sailing smoothly till now. Articles on Nigerian celebrity couples still going strong almost always start with the Banky W and Adesua Etomi love story. Their romance moved from the movie set of “The Wedding Party” to real life and a wedding in 2017, which literally broke Nigerian social media. Lifestyle and fashion platforms call them a modern Naija power couple and one of the most stylish celebrity pairs in Nollywood. 

They deserve a seat on this list because, beyond the glamour, fans love how open they are about faith, therapy, fertility struggles, and parenting. Young single girls still scream “God when” at this couple because they want their household as peaceful as Adesua’s household.

4. Mercy Johnson and Prince Odi Okojie 

This couple is another long-running favourite of fans, beginning in 2011 and growing into a family of four children. Although rumour has it that Prince Okojie is a divorcee, lifestyle articles still rank his marriage to Mercy Johnson among the favourite celebrity couples in Nigeria. This house has a public image built around goofiness, cooking videos, parenting skits, and campaign support for Prince Okojie’s political run. They also place a strong emphasis on faith, parenting, and showing up for each other’s careers. 

They don’t just occupy the “Awwn, God, when?” lane but the “This is how I want my family home to look” lane.

5. Omotola Jalade Ekeinde and Captain Matthew Ekeinde

The Omotola Jalade and Captain Ekeinde relationship is older than some Gen Z fans arguing about it online. They had their traditional marriage in 1996 and a white wedding mid-air on a plane in 2001; they have four children and decades of shared life. The evidence shows that before the timeline existed and flowers, there were men like Matthew Ekeinde getting married to the love of his life mid-air on a plane, literally in the sky. Despite Omotola posting less frequently these days, every anniversary or throwback photo reminds people why they’re often called one of Nigeria’s most iconic marriages. They are definitely one of the favourite couples that Nigerians love to see, and it shows that being a star and having a long, stable marriage don’t have to clash.

This list does not include other couples who are still going strong. You can find this list on this website. 

Conclusion
