The 11 most romantic moments from Davido and Chioma’s wedding in Miami

Davido and Chioma’s Miami wedding was filled with unforgettable, heart-melting moments that fans just can’t stop talking about.

If you’ve been on social media in the past 24 hours, you already know that #Chivido2025 completely shut down the internet.

Afrobeats superstar Davido and his long-time love, Chioma Rowland Adeleke, finally tied the knot in a white wedding ceremony in Miami on Sunday, August 10, 2025, and it was nothing short of a fairytale.

For fans who have followed their love story for over a decade, this wasn’t just another celebrity wedding. It was the grand finale to a journey that’s seen public highs, heartbreaking lows, and a love that kept coming back stronger each time.

From their court wedding in March 2023 to the lavish traditional wedding in Lagos in June 2024, the Miami celebration was the ultimate “happily ever after” moment, and at a jaw-dropping $3.7 million (paid in cash), Davido made sure the world knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Here are the top 11 most romantic moments from the wedding that fans can’t stop talking about and a few gems you may have missed.

  1. The pre-wedding Havana Night glow

The festivities kicked off with a full-blown tropical celebration the night before the wedding. The Havana Night party was pure Miami vibes – think bright colours, rhythmic beats, and a dance floor that stayed hot all night. But the real highlight was Davido and Chioma themselves. Chioma wore a flowing, figure-hugging white gown that sparkled under the lights, while Davido came through in a multi-coloured fit that screamed confident groom energy. All night, he kept her close, whispering in her ear, making her laugh, holding her hand as they moved from group to group. For fans watching clips online, it was a refreshing reminder that behind all the glitz, this is still a couple who genuinely enjoy each other’s company.

  1. Davido’s nervous, heart-melting wows

Davido might be used to commanding massive stadiums, but when it came to pledging his love to Chioma, even he admitted he was shaking. “I’ve been on many stages,” he said with a small laugh, “but this is the most nervous I’ve ever been.” His vows were deeply personal, stripping away the superstar image to reveal the man behind the music. He called her “my love, my peace, my home”, telling her she’d entered his life quietly but had become the most beautiful part of it. The line that had fans in their feelings was “You saw the real me, the me the world doesn’t see, and you still chose me.” In that moment, it felt like every love song he had ever written was aimed right at her.

  1. Chioma’s quiet but powerful promise

When Chioma took the mic, her voice carried the calm assurance that has become her trademark. She spoke straight from the heart, calling Davido her “best friend” and “calm in every storm”. Her vows weren’t flashy, but they hit deep, promising to keep holding his hand, to walk beside him, and to remain his anchor through every high and low. For a woman who has spent years dealing with the pressures of being linked to one of Africa’s biggest stars, her words were a gentle but firm reminder that love isn’t just about passion; it’s about partnership, patience, and the kind of loyalty you can’t fake.

4. The first kiss everyone was waiting for

The moment the officiating pastor, Pastor Professor Joseph, pronounced them husband and wife, the energy in the room shifted. Cameras zoomed in, the crowd leaned forward, and then… it happened. That kiss. Not rushed, not overdone, just the perfect blend of passion and tenderness. The guests erupted into cheers and applause, and online, the clip instantly went viral. For fans, it wasn’t just a kiss; it was a symbol of every hurdle they’ve overcome to get to this exact moment.

  1. The grand entrance that set the tone.
  2. When it was time to make their big entrance into the reception, Davido and Chioma didn’t go with a safe, predictable choice. Instead, they walked in to D’banj performing his hit single Fall In Love. It was unexpected, upbeat, and instantly infectious, with guests clapping along and phones flying into the air to record.

This wasn’t just a walk-in, it was a statement that even on their wedding day, they’re still deeply connected to the music scene they helped shape.

6. ‘Lifetime Insurance’ in action

Back in 2024, during their traditional wedding, Davido promised Chioma’s parents “lifetime insurance”, that she would always be protected, respected, and connected. Miami was where he turned those words into reality. Spending $3.7 million on a destination white wedding wasn’t about showing off; it was about proving that his love, loyalty, and commitment weren’t just empty promises. Fans online called it “the most expensive love receipt in Nigerian history”, and honestly, they’re not wrong.

7. Davido performed With You for Chioma

Midway through the reception, Davido took the microphone and surprised everyone by performing With You, one of his most heartfelt love songs. But this wasn’t a performance for the crowd, it was for Chioma. Standing beside her, he sang directly to her, turning the intimate ballad into a personal serenade that left many fans swooning and Chioma dancing. It was a reminder that behind the public spotlight, their love story remains deeply private and that the most meaningful moments are the ones they share just between themselves.

  1. The fashion royalty moment

Chioma was every bit the modern bride, switching between multiple show-stopping gowns, each one dripping in detail, from feathered embellishments to dramatic, sweeping trains. Every outfit change drew audible gasps from the crowd and floods of heart emojis online.

Davido wasn’t left behind in the style stakes, rocking sleek Ugo Monye suits that blended contemporary flair with Nigerian tailoring excellence. His crisp white look for the ceremony and sharp black tux for the reception cemented him as the ultimate stylish groom.

9. The ‘Chioma’ tattoo reveal

Fans noticed it during the pre-wedding photoshoot, a fresh tattoo on Davido’s lower abdomen spelling out Chioma. A tattoo is forever, and revealing it just before their wedding was his way of saying, “This isn’t just a wedding day thing. You’re part of me now.” It was romantic, intimate, and just a little rebellious, the kind of grand gesture that only Davido could pull off.

10. The Richard Mille love exchange

Luxury has always been part of Davido’s love language, and this wedding was no different. During the reception, he gifted Chioma a diamond-encrusted Richard Mille watch worth $300,000, her second from him after the one he gave her for her birthday in 2023.

His own wedding watch reportedly cost $800,000, with their combined watches and rings valued at over ₦1 billion. For fans, it was less about the price tag and more about the symbolism, a sparkling reminder that they’ve built a life of success together.

In the middle of all the sparkle and celebration, Davido carried a quiet piece of his heart with him down the aisle. Tucked into the details of his sleek wedding suit were custom cufflinks, each engraved with a photo of his late son, Ifeanyi. It was a subtle gesture most guests might have missed, but for those who spotted it, the meaning was powerful. In a day filled with joy, this was his way of keeping Ifeanyi close, a reminder that their love story is not just about the present but also about honouring the past and the journey they’ve walked together. It was intimate and emotional and proof that sometimes the smallest details speak the loudest.

In conclusion, yes, the Miami wedding was glitzy, but it was also a story of resilience. Chioma’s parents allegedly couldn’t attend due to visa issues, and close friend Cubana Chief Priest was denied entry to the US. The #Chivido Miami 2025 felt so personal for fans. It wasn’t just about the flowers, the outfits, or the guest list. It was about two people choosing each other over and over, even when the world is watching and whispering.
