Adekunle Gold and Simi, the Nigerian music stars, have exchanged heartfelt messages in celebration of their seventh wedding anniversary.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Gold shared a loved-up photo of himself and Simi, referring to her as “my best friend” while reflecting on the steady progress of their union over the years.
“Seven years ago, I married my best friend. And somehow, every year since then has been gentler than the last. We’ve laughed hard, grown deeply, prayed sincerely, and chosen each other again and again,” he wrote.
“And through it all, loving you has been the easiest, most beautiful decision of my life. 7 years in and my heart still knows where it belongs. I love you Simi.”
Simi, in her own message, paid glowing tribute to her husband, expressing appreciation for the love, peace, and understanding he brings into her life.
“My baby, 7 years. You’re still the one. I’m grateful for the joy and peace you bring to my life. I remember when we were still dating and a friend asked me, ‘why him?’. I said ‘we just fit’. We still fit. You see me. You’re mindful of me. You love me. You know I’m not a gentlelady,” she wrote.
“I’m a fighter, but thank you for not letting me have to fight to be seen and loved. Thank you for being a good man, cause those are hard to come by. Thank you for taking care of me. Thank you for being worth the sacrifice it takes to be a wife and a mommy. I love you. Husband of my youth. Ka pe fun ra wa loruko Jesu.”
The anniversary celebration comes weeks after rumours emerged that the couple welcomed a set of twins.
Speculation followed their December announcement that they were expecting their second child together, revealed through the visuals of ‘My Love Is The Same’, Gold’s hit single.
Adekunle Gold and Simi got married in a private ceremony in January 2019 and welcomed their first child in June 2020.
