Weddings are commonly regarded as marriage ceremonies. Most wedding ceremonies involve an exchange of marriage vows by the couple, presentation of gifts (offering, ring(s), symbolic item, flowers, money), and a public proclamation of marriage by an authority figure.
Somehow, a few Nigerian celebrities have defied all odds by exchanging vows with their spouses away from public eye.
Here are 6 Nigerian celebrities who had secret weddings.
1. Regina Askia
One of Nollywood’s hottest and oldest actress, Regina Askia, in the early 90s secretly married Rudolph Williams, an American who flew to Lagos for the secret ceremony. At this time the Internet wasn’t popular in Nigeria so it took about a week for people to find out. Shortly after her wedding Regina Askia relocated with her husband.
2. Uche Jumbo
Uche Jombo secretly married Kenny Rodriguez in a low key wedding ceremony in America after her failed relationship with Ikechukwu Uche.
3. Stella Damasus
The actress who is based in UK has been secretly married for 3 years to her live-in lover, Daniel Ademinokan. Ademinokan announced this on February 14, 2017.
4. Funke Akindele
Multiple award-winning actress secretly got married to her beau JJC Skillz Bello in London on August 27, 2016.
5. Di’ja
Reports had it that Mavin singer Di’Ja had gotten married in December 2015 but Di’Ja did not give a hint. On July 1, 2016 Di’Ja finally revealed that she had gotten married months ago and had given birth to a boy.
6. Agbani Darego
Top Nigerian model, Agbani married Ishaya Danjuma in a quiet ceremony in Morocco on April 8, 2017. It was reported that only 35 people were in attendance.
