ADEKUNLE GOLD AND SIMI MARK 7 YEARS OF MARRIAGE WITH HEARTFELT TRIBUTES
Nigerian music stars and celebrity couple, Adekunle Gold and Simi, are celebrating their seventh wedding anniversary, sharing emotional messages that reflect their deep bond and journey together.
Adekunle Gold took the lead in commemorating the milestone, describing Simi as his best friend and noting that every year of their marriage has been gentler than the last. He reflected on how they have laughed, grown, prayed, and continuously chosen each other, adding that loving her has been the easiest and most beautiful decision of his life.
In his message, the singer expressed gratitude for the peace, joy, and understanding Simi brings into his life, affirming that seven years on, his heart still knows where it belongs.
Simi also penned a touching tribute to her husband, stating that Adekunle remains “the one” even after seven years of marriage. She recalled how, while they were dating, a friend once asked why she chose him, and her simple response was that they just fit — a feeling she says remains unchanged.
The songstress praised Adekunle for being mindful, loving, and supportive, noting that he never made her struggle to be seen or loved. She thanked him for being a good man, caring for her, and being worth the sacrifices that come with being a wife and mother. Describing him as the “husband of her youth,” Simi reaffirmed her love and commitment.
The couple’s anniversary celebration comes amid joyful family news. In December, they announced they were expecting another child, sharing a video that featured Simi’s baby bump alongside their daughter, Deja. Shortly after, Adekunle revealed that they had welcomed twins, describing the arrival as a divine blessing after he prayed for another child.
Adekunle Gold and Simi got married in 2019 and welcomed their first child, Deja, in 2020. Over the years, they have consistently celebrated their union publicly, often describing each other as sources of peace, joy, laughter, and strength.
In a past interview, Simi revealed that she never planned to marry a musician, recalling that she met Adekunle without initially knowing he was a singer — a chance encounter that later blossomed into one of Nigeria’s most admired celebrity marriages.
