Their relationship has captivated many, resembling a storybook romance with its ups and downs and public displays of affection.

A Relationship That Began in College

Davido and Chioma’s relationship dates back to their days at Babcock University in 2013. Initially friends, their bond deepened over the years, and by 2017, Davido publicly introduced Chioma as his girlfriend. Their love story gained widespread attention when Davido dedicated his hit song “Assurance” to Chioma, who also starred in the music video.

Joy and Tragedy

The couple welcomed their son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, on October 20, 2019. However, their joy turned to sorrow when Ifeanyi tragically drowned in a swimming pool at Davido’s residence in 2022. This devastating event deeply affected both Davido and Chioma but did not sever their bond.

Trials and Tribulations

Their relationship faced numerous challenges, including a postponed wedding in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a reported breakup in 2021. During their split, rumors of Davido’s involvement with another woman surfaced, and the couple unfollowed each other on social media. Despite these hurdles, they reconciled and rekindled their relationship, much to the delight of their fans.
