Davido Reveals He Lived With Chioma for Eight Years Before They Got Married

Davido has shared details about his marriage to Chioma Adeleke, revealing that they lived together for eight years before officially tying the knot.

Speaking on The Bootleg Kev Podcast, the award-winning singer recalled meeting Chioma during his university days and explained how their long-term cohabitation made their transition into marriage smoother.

“My partner and I have been living together for a long time prior to getting married. I met her in my third year in college, and I was lucky enough for us to move in together early—about eight years before we got married,” Davido said.

While acknowledging that marriage felt natural due to their strong bond, he admitted that it still came with its own challenges.

“The transition was smooth, but it’s different; getting married is no joke,” he added.

The Unavailable hitmaker also praised Chioma for her unwavering support, especially given his demanding music career.

“Throughout the time we were living together, I was touring and really on the road. She always understood what I did for work, and she knows I’m at my happiest when I work. She knows I love music as she loves being in the kitchen,” he said.
