The chef has appeared in several of the singer’s music videos, and rumors of breakups have circulated throughout the years.
A year later, the singer acknowledged the connection; images of the introduction surfaced on social media, and in September 2019, Davido proposed to her in a secret ceremony.
Their wedding was set to take place in 2020, but it was canceled because of the COVID-19 epidemic.
