Months after their grand traditional wedding in Lagos, music superstar David Adeleke, better known as Davido, and his long-time partner Chioma Rowland Adeleke sealed their union with an opulent white wedding at The Havana in Miami, on the 10th of August, 2025. The celebration was nothing short of breathtaking.
The couple, who had known each other for more than two decades before their romance began, have long been adored as one of Nigeria’s favourite celebrity love stories. They welcomed twins in the United States in October 2023 and just had their traditional marriage several months ago.
Still, fans had been eagerly anticipating the white wedding, a moment Davido had hinted at in April when he revealed plans to hold it in August without giving away the exact date.
When the day finally came, it unfolded like a scene from a high-fashion, big-budget romantic film. Davido and Chioma arrived in Miami earlier in the week, stepping off a private jet adorned with fresh floral arrangements and a decorative chair marked “MRS,” symbolising the romance in the air. Even before the wedding itself, their arrival stirred buzz across social media.
Davido revealed the wedding’s staggering $3.7 million price tag in a playful but proud moment, saying, “We spent $3.7 million in cash. You should know what we are doing. It’s crazy.”
With that figure, it was clear the couple wasn’t holding back on making this celebration one of the biggest events in the music and entertainment world for 2025.
The Havana in Miami was transformed into a dreamy paradise. From crystal chandeliers reflecting the warm Florida light to tropical floral installations framing the aisle, the entire venue shimmered with sophistication.
The guest list featured a glittering array of Nigerian celebrities and friends of the couple, including Teniola Apata, Adekunle Gold, Dbanj, Liquorose, Uche Jumbo, Zlatan Ibile, and entertainer Tunde Ednut.
During the festivities, Zlatan and Davido shared a lighthearted, playful moment while other scenes captured Teni, Adekunle Gold, Tunde Ednut, and all other celebrities dancing, laughing, and soaking up the joy of the day.
Chioma’s first appearance at the venue was nothing short of breathtaking. She arrived in a strapless mini dress intricately beaded to perfection, topped with a detachable tulle cape that cascaded into a voluminous feathered train.
Her hair was kept sleek and cropped, her makeup glowing with a perfectly highlighted complexion and bold lashes, and her jewelry kept minimal to let the gown command attention.
Later, for the main ceremony, she changed into a floor-length, long-sleeved lace gown with a fitted silhouette and delicate floral embroidery, sheer panels adding a modern twist to the romantic design.
The high neckline lent regal style, while her hair, styled in soft finger-wave-inspired curls, and her classic makeup with bold brows, defined eyes, and a nude lip created a timeless bridal look.
Davido’s style choices were equally considered. For the ceremony, he wore a rich brown double-breasted suit paired with a burgundy shirt and matching tie, accented with a white floral boutonniere. Rings, a statement watch, and sleek black dress shoes completed the ensemble.

As the wedding went on, the Afrobeats star presented his blushing bride with a jaw-dropping Richard Mille RM 037 wristwatch valued at $300,000 (₦465 million), sourced from his trusted jeweller, Benny The Jeweler; the same luxury jeweller favoured by boxing legend Floyd Mayweather.
If that wasn’t enough, whispers quickly spread among guests that an equally breathtaking $1 million (₦1.55 billion) engagement ring was also on its way.

Chioma wowed in a vibrant, mosaic-style gown adorned with mirror-like panels, red rose appliqués, and bold purple tulle inserts. The off-shoulder cut, with rose embellishments and delicate strap details, gave the gown a whimsical yet powerful presence.
Her makeup became more evening-appropriate, with a richer lip colour and bolder eyes, reflecting the shift from ceremony elegance to reception glamour.
Davido’s reception look was a pale pink suit with sparkling silver geometric embellishments. The deep V-neck shirt worn underneath, paired with sunglasses and a sleek watch, brought a confident, party-ready energy to the night.
Before the main ceremony, the couple had already set the tone with a romantic pre-wedding dinner attended by close family and friends. Videos from the evening showed Davido wearing a white hat, blue suit jacket, white trousers, and patterned fabric draped over his shoulders.
Chioma looked radiant in a short white 3D floral gown, moving with ease as she mingled with guests. The atmosphere was warm, intimate, and filled with anticipation for the big day.
Their pre-wedding photoshoots further added to the excitement, with each image revealing a different facet of their relationship and style.
In one image, the couple looked regal and sultry; Davido in a crisp tailored white suit and Chioma in a glamorous look with long, flowing hair and radiant makeup, feather accents on her outfit and refined jewelry enhancing the scene.
Another shot featured Chioma in a dramatic black gown with intricate lace and oversized bows, her bold makeup perfectly matching the gown’s boldness, while Davido complemented her in a subtly embellished look.
A more relaxed image saw them dressed stylishly in black, Chioma in a chic dress with a playful hint of color in her hair and Davido in a textured shirt and trousers, their minimal accessories keeping the focus on the contemporary setting.
In another, they embodied luxury; Chioma in a beaded gown with gold tones, hugging her figure and Davido in a plush black suit, both perfectly groomed and adorned with small but impactful accessories.
By the time the final song played and the lights dimmed, it was undeniable… Davido and Chioma had just staged one of the most iconic celebrity weddings in recent memory.
Their Miami wedding was far more than a ceremony; it was a spectacular showcase of high fashion and a love story years in the making.
For guests and fans across the globe, it became an unforgettable moment in pop culture history; a glittering reminder that love is sweet, but as Davido himself would say, when money enter, love is sweeter.
