Zlatan Ibile once denied marrying Davita. Months later, the couple announced their wedding celebration on a private jet, here’s the full story.
Sometimes love has its own timeline, no matter how loudly the public asks for answers. Nigerian singer Zlatan Ibile and his longtime partner, Davita, have spent the better part of a year dodging marriage rumours, denying claims, and quietly living their truth behind closed doors. Now, on a private jet headed to a friend’s wedding, they’ve finally said it out loud: a wedding celebration is coming.
The reveal didn’t come through a press release or a carefully worded Instagram caption. It happened mid-flight, aboard a private jet carrying a group of celebrities to singer Soso Soberekon’s wedding. Singer Teni was on that flight too, and she’s the one who broke the news, introducing Davita as Zlatan’s wife before the couple could even get a word in.
Davita took the moment gracefully, thanking everyone and inviting them to the celebration. When someone asked if the invitation stretched to the thousands of fans who’d eventually watch the clip online, she simply laughed it off, saying she wasn’t quite ready for that kind of spotlight.
Rewind to January, and the story looked very different. Zlatan had firmly pushed back against posts calling Davita his wife, insisting she was the mother of his children, not his spouse. He didn’t hide his irritation at how quickly unverified claims spread online.
By March, though, the cracks in that denial started showing. Family photos surfaced with the couple wearing matching rings, and Davita began using Zlatan’s surname, Omoniyi, on her social media profile.
The full picture came together in May. A wedding decorator who’d worked on a private ceremony back in December 2025 shared photos and videos online, revealing that Zlatan and Davita had already legally married in a small, family-only civil ceremony. Neither of them confirmed it publicly at the time, but the leaked images told their own story: a simple suit for Zlatan, a white dress for Davita, and a quiet moment fans described as refreshingly understated for two people so used to public attention.
Zlatan and Davita already share two sons, and their relationship has quietly shaped some of his most talked-about public moments, from surprising her with a car to cheering her on at her university graduation. Now, with a legal marriage behind them, all eyes turn to when the bigger celebration will actually happen.
