The Women Davido Has Loved: A Journey Through His Romances

David Adedeji Adeleke—better known as Davido—is undoubtedly one of Afrobeats’ brightest stars. With chart-smashing hits and massive global acclaim, his personal life, especially his romance history, has often trended just as fiercely as his music. Let’s dive into the women who’ve shared seasons of Davido’s life, exploring love, heartbreak, fatherhood, and growth.

1. Funmi Aboderin (Circa 2012–2013)

Before he was crossing into global fame, Davido was studying in the UK, and that’s where he dated Funmi Aboderin, reportedly his first serious relationship. They attended Durham University together and were a couple around 2012–2013. While it ended quietly—a tweet from Davido hinted at singlehood—this early romance is considered his first love outside the gleam of stardom dailytrust.com+7afrinik.com+7spieltimes.io+7.

2. Nish Kards (2012)

Shortly after Funmi, he was linked to Ghanaian model Nish Kards. The pair were often spotted together in late 2012—public but fleeting. They split within months, leaving behind a few viral photos but no enduring romance spieltimes.io+1afrinik.com+1.

3. Ayotomide Labinjo (2013)

In early 2013, Davido's life took a dramatic turn when Ayotomide Labinjo claimed they had dated and that she was carrying his baby. A paternity test reportedly found the child wasn't his, but Ayotomide insisted the test was inaccurate dnbstories.com+2spieltimes.io+2buzzpopdaily.com+2. Despite the denials, public curiosity ran high during this period.

4. Stacey Briana Brown (2013)

Also in 2013, Nadia "Stacey" Briana Brown, a Kenyan model, was briefly rumored to be Davido's girlfriend. They were seen together after a concert in Kenya. Stacey later distanced herself from the rumors, saying they only spent the night together but weren't in a relationship dnbstories.com+3spieltimes.io+3afrinik.com+3.

5. Sophia Ajibola Momodu (2013–2015)

Maybe the most well-known of Davido’s past romances, Sophia Momodu—a cousin of Nigerian media personality Dele Momodu—dated Davido from 2013 to 2015. Their relationship brought real-life consequences, with Sophia giving birth to their daughter, Aurora Imade Adeleke, in May 2015 whosdatedwho.com+6spieltimes.io+6buzzpopdaily.com+6.

This relationship became public knowledge through a mix of social media and gossip, touching on sensitive themes like estrangement and reconciliation. Eventually, custody was amicably resolved, and daughter Imade remains at the center of their shared story .

6. Agnes Masogange & Sierra Kante (2015)

By late 2015, two more connections—Agnes Masogange (Tanzanian model) and Sierra Kante (Ghanaian model)—entered the picture. While both lasted only briefly, each sparked rumors: Agnes even posted a pregnancy test photo (which she later dismissed), and Sierra was credited as a casual relationship partner during a tumultuous but social media-heavy phase spieltimes.io+1afrinik.com+1.

7. Amanda Adeleke (2015–2017)

The Atlanta-based model Amanda, also known as “Laplubelle,” began dating Davido around 2015. They welcomed a daughter, Hailey Veronica Adeleke, in May 2017 teenvogue.com+9spieltimes.io+9dnbstories.com+9. Though never publicly official, their long-distance relationship still lasted nearly two years. Davido eventually took a DNA test to confirm paternity—and it confirmed their connection .

8. Larissa Lorenco (2019; 2020–2021)

In 2019, Larissa Yasmin Lorenco, a UK-based makeup artist of Angolan origin, was romantically linked to Davido. Rumors swirled that she might have had a child with him. In June 2021, she hinted at motherhood and implied the reason for their breakup, though Davido denied those claims and later blocked her buzzpopdaily.com+2spieltimes.io+2dnbstories.com+2.

9. Mya Yafai (2020–2021)

The singer's personal life once again captured headlines when he was seen with American model Mya Yafai during a holiday in the Caribbean around late 2020. The encounter stirred controversy since it came amid Davido’s ongoing engagement with Chioma Rowland, whom he married later. Critics accused Davido of infidelity; soon after, the relationship quietly ended buzzpopdaily.com+6spieltimes.io+6mpasho.co.ke+6.

10. Vanessa (2021)

Immediately after the Mya scandal, Davido was linked with a model named Vanessa. Reports suggested he even introduced her to his family. But as quickly as it began, the relationship ended. Details remain sparse, and it never gained the media traction of his previous matches .

11. Chioma Avril Rowland (2017–Present)

A much happier chapter: Davido’s longest public love story began in 2017 with Chioma Rowland, now his wife and partner in parenting. Their love story went viral when Davido dedicated the song “Assurance” to her, even featuring her in the music video reddit.com+15thenationonlineng.net+15zikoko.com+15.

They publicly introduced each other in 2018, and in 2019, Davido proposed in London while Chioma was pregnant. Soon after, they welcomed son Ifeanyi David Adeleke Jr., born October 20, 2019 zikoko.com+4pulse.ng+4thenationonlineng.net+4.

Their highly anticipated wedding, planned for 2020, was disrupted by COVID-19. Despite challenges—including public cheating rumors around 2020 and 2021—they never fully broke . In March 2023, Davido announced they’d finally married, and on June 25, 2024, they wed via traditional ceremony in Lagos, attended by dignitaries like former President Obasanjo en.wikipedia.org+1zikoko.com+1.

Together, they’ve since had twins (October 2023) and now share three children—Chioma is not just his partner, but a cornerstone of his life and image .
