It is wedding bells for Nigerian singer Omoniyi Temidayo Raphael, popularly known as Zlatan Ibile, and his longtime partner, Davita, as the lovebirds have finally tied the knot today, 24 October 2026 after eight years together. The singer and the mother of his two children have taken their relationship to the next level, drawing congratulatory messages from celebrities, fans and well-wishers who have followed their love story over the years.

From their creative wedding announcement to their lovely pre-wedding pictures and videos, Zlatan and Davita have given fans plenty of reasons to celebrate with them.

One of the highlights of their wedding announcement was the sweet voice-over by their son in the couple’s save-the-date video. Many social media users have described his voice as one of the coolest voiceovers on the internet.

In the heartwarming video, their son captures what love and family mean to his parents, giving fans a glimpse into the bond they share.

“When you think about love, you think about my daddy and mummy. They have shown that family means supporting each other, loving each other, laughing together and always feeling loved. My little brother and I are part of their love story,” he said.

The touching message has drawn attention online, with many praising the couple for involving their children in such a special moment.

Zlatan and Davita also brought their fashion game to the celebration, stepping out in matching outfits with the faces of their children printed on them. The outfits were another reminder that their children remain an important part of their love story.

The couple first made their relationship official to the public through an announcement aboard a private jet, with other celebrities, including singer Teni, present. The announcement was followed by a series of pre-wedding photoshoots and videos that offered fans a closer look at their relationship.

One of the most interesting revelations from the pre-wedding content was Davita’s account of how Zlatan approached her when they first met.

According to her, the singer is naturally shy and had to ask someone to help him get her phone number. The revelation gave fans another side of the rapper, who is widely known for his energetic performances and bold personality.

Davita also spoke about their different personalities, describing herself as a “Type A” person and Zlatan as a “Type Z”.

While she likes to plan things carefully and keep everything organised, Zlatan is more spontaneous. According to her, he can wake up in the morning without any plans and still decide to carry out a task.

The couple also revealed their different attitudes towards money. Davita described herself as someone who is not much of a spender, while Zlatan enjoys spending.

Despite these differences, the singer believes they complement each other perfectly.

Zlatan explained that Davita’s qualities helped him realise she was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. For him, their differences are part of what makes their relationship work.

Their story has since become a talking point among fans, with many praising them for embracing their differences and building a family together.

The simplicity of their wedding announcement has also earned positive reactions online. Some celebrities and fans described it as a short, simple and intentional way to announce their wedding date.

Since news of their wedding emerged, congratulatory messages have continued to pour in, with celebrities praising Zlatan for taking the step of making his longtime relationship official.

After eight years together and two children, the singer and Davita appear ready to begin another chapter of their journey as husband and wife.
