The couple had previously revealed their engagement in April 2022, when the actress shared a video of the proposal on her Instagram, while both had hinted at hosting an intimate wedding.
Temi Otedola, now Temiloluwa Ajibade, shared an update on social media Friday, announcing her new surname with the caption, “Mr and Mrs Ajibade. Now on voguemagazine.”
According to PUNCH Online, the couple held three wedding celebrations in different countries, with one taking place in Monaco on May 9, coinciding with the birthday of Mr Eazi’s late mother.
Two months later, the couple celebrated a Yoruba traditional wedding at the Otedola family residence in Dubai, before concluding their celebrations with a white wedding in Iceland in August.
Vogue Magazine shared 99 photos from the wedding ceremonies on its website, recounting that the couple first met on a chilly London night in January 2017. The Afrobeats singer and actor attended the Tate Club to see Temi’s sister, Florence, perform behind the DJ booth, and five years later, he proposed.
In a separate interview with The Office Magazine, Mr Eazi discussed how Nigerian culture influenced their wedding celebrations.
“We brought Nigeria to Dubai in Temi’s family home, all the food, the officiant (the Alaga), the attire of all the staff, guest and performers was all traditional Yoruba attire, the food was all Naija food, and the band was the legendary King Sunny Ade.
“Our attires were both Yoruba wedding attire and we had one that was Iseleuku wedding attire as an ode to my late mum’s Ibo heritage, the entire run of events stayed the same as if it were in Lagos and it truly felt like Lagos in Dubai,” he was quoted as saying.
The singer reportedly shared that the wedding celebrations have served as an inspiration for his music.
“I wanna make more love songs, stripped back acoustic songs that I could perform live at future Nigerian weddings,” he said.
Looking back on his most unforgettable moment, Mr Eazi reportedly said, “It was an out of body experience seeing Temi and I get married in Dubai in the presence of our close friends and family and I can’t forget when she was told to describe me and she called all my names including the special name my mum loved to call me.
“Also, before she walked into the church, there was a moment the organist played my mum’s favourite hymn and as she walked in a cloudy day started to turn sunny, this was so special.”
