Nigerian music superstar Davido has opened up about his marriage to Chioma Adeleke, revealing that they lived together for eight years before officially tying the knot.
Speaking on The Bootleg Kev Podcast, Davido shared that cohabiting for nearly a decade before marriage made the transition much smoother.
He recalled that their journey began during his third year of college and how their deep friendship naturally evolved into a lasting relationship.
Despite their long-term bond, Davido admitted that marriage comes with its own unique experiences and challenges.
“Marriage is no joke,” he said, adding that it continues to present new experiences every day.
However, he expressed gratitude for his wife’s unwavering support and understanding of the demands of his music career.
Throughout their time together, he was constantly on tour, yet she remained supportive, knowing that music is his passion—just as she enjoys spending time in the kitchen.
Their strong foundation of friendship and understanding, he noted, has helped them navigate the complexities of marriage while staying true to their individual passions.
