Nigerian music power couple Simi and Adekunle Gold have captured the hearts of fans across Africa and beyond as they celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary.
Adekunle Gold, whose real name is Adekunle Kosoko, and Simi (Simisola Kosoko) first tied the knot in January 2019 after years of dating and creative collaboration.
The couple’s love story began long before fame and continues to be defined by deep friendship, a mutual appreciation for each other’s artistry, and a shared commitment to family life.
On the occasion of their seventh anniversary, Adekunle Gold took to Instagram with a series of photos – from throwbacks to recent snapshots – chronicling their journey together.
His caption read like a love letter, reflecting on how their marriage has grown softer and more intentional with each passing year.
“Seven years ago, I married my best friend. And somehow, every year since then has been gentler than the last,” he wrote, recounting how laughter, faith and deliberate choices have been the foundation of their life as husband and wife.
He continued, expressing that loving Simi has been “the easiest, most beautiful decision” of his life, and affirmed his commitment with the heartfelt words: “Seven years in and my heart still knows where it belongs. I love you, Simi.”
Simi reciprocated with her own tribute. In her post, she referred to Adekunle Gold affectionately as “My baby” and reflected on how natural and effortless their connection has felt since their earliest days together.
“I remember when we were still dating and a friend asked me, ‘Why him?’ I said, ‘We just fit,’” she wrote, affirming that they still fit as perfectly as ever.
She praised her husband for seeing her fully and loving her in ways that made her feel valued and understood without struggle.
Simi acknowledged her own strength as someone who is “not a gentlelady” but “a fighter,” and thanked him for loving her without making her fight “to be seen and loved.”
She also celebrated his character, calling him a “good man” — a rare and precious gift in life and in a partner.
Content creators and entertainment personalities chimed in, celebrating the couple’s love and their influence as role models for healthy relationships — especially in an industry where celebrity unions often face intense pressure and short lifespans.
The anniversary arrives just after news that Simi and Adekunle Gold welcomed twins. Adekunle Gold shared the joyful news earlier in January, expressing gratitude for their blessing.
The couple already share a daughter, born in 2020, and have frequently highlighted how parenthood has strengthened their bond and priorities.
