Celebrity power couple Davido and Chioma turned heads and captured hearts during their appearance at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, April 8th, 2025. The Nigerian music superstar and his wife were spotted enjoying prime courtside seats at the highly anticipated Knicks vs. Celtics game in New York City.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2023 following years of an on-again, off-again relationship, seemed completely at ease in the celebrity-filled environment of one of basketball’s most iconic venues. Their affectionate display caught the attention of fans both in the arena and across social media platforms when they shared a kiss that was promptly captured on camera.
In videos that quickly circulated online, Davido and Chioma playfully posed for the cameras, with their kiss seemingly directed at “taunting singles” according to some social media users. The light-hearted moment showcased the couple’s chemistry and comfort with public displays of affection, delighting their substantial fan base.
The appearance comes during what appears to be an extended stay in the United States for the couple. Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, has maintained strong connections to the American music scene throughout his career, frequently collaborating with US-based artists and producers.
Madison Square Garden has long been a celebrity hotspot for NBA games, particularly for high-profile matchups like Tuesday’s game between the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics. The venue’s courtside seats are frequently occupied by entertainment industry figures, and Davido and Chioma’s presence continued this tradition.
Their appearance generated significant buzz on social media, with fans and followers reacting enthusiastically to seeing the parents of twins enjoying a night out together. The couple welcomed their twins in 2023, adding to their family after experiencing a devastating loss in 2022 when their first son tragically drowned.
They look so good together,” commented one food vendor from Lagos on social media, echoing the sentiments of many followers. Another fan noted, “Davido is really enjoying his marriage, which is beautiful to see,” highlighting the public’s investment in the couple’s happiness.
Their relationship journey has been closely followed by fans across Africa and beyond, with many celebrating what they perceive as evidence of the couple’s enduring bond despite past challenges. Relationship wey strong pass Nigerian currency,” quipped one social media user, making a playful comparison between the couple’s resilience and Nigeria’s economic fluctuations.
Not all comments were entirely positive, however. Some followers referenced past relationship difficulties, with one commenter writing, “This is beautiful; I hope this man won’t cheat again,” alluding to previous rumors of infidelity that had surfaced during the couple’s relationship.
Others took a more cynical view of celebrity relationships in general, with remarks like “Love is sweet when money and asset is involved,” suggesting that the couple’s financial status contributes to their apparent harmony.
Nevertheless, the overwhelming response to their public appearance was positive, with many expressing admiration and even envy. Beautiful couple, God when,” wrote one fan, using the popular Nigerian expression that indicates longing for a similar blessing.
For those unfamiliar with the couple’s history, Davido and Chioma’s relationship first became public knowledge around 2018 when the music star released a song titled “Assurance” dedicated to her. Their relationship gained further attention when Davido featured Chioma in the music video and reportedly gifted her a Porsche with a customized license plate reading “Assurance.”
The couple’s romance has since weathered various storms, including breakup rumors, reconciliations, and personal tragedy, before culminating in their marriage. Their appearance at the NBA game seems to represent a chapter of stability and public confidence in their union.
Davido, one of Africa’s most successful musical artists, has built a global brand that extends beyond music into various business ventures. His relationship with Chioma, who has developed her own following as a chef and influencer, has been a significant aspect of his public persona.
As they continue their visit to New York, fans and followers are undoubtedly keeping an eye on social media for more glimpses into the couple’s activities. The NBA game appearance may be just one stop on what appears to be a combination of business and pleasure for the Nigerian celebrities in the United States.
The couple’s visible happiness comes at a time when Davido continues to expand his musical influence internationally while maintaining his status as one of Africa’s premier entertainment exports. Their public appearances together often generate significant media attention, highlighting the intense public interest in their relationship.
For now, it seems the couple is embracing their time in the spotlight, comfortable with sharing moments of their relationship with an audience that has followed their journey through its many phases. The courtside kiss at Madison Square Garden is likely to remain a cherished memory for fans who continue to root for the relationship that has captivated Nigerian entertainment audiences for years.
As commented by one social media user who goes by “Cleverly”: “I love Davido and Chioma always,” a sentiment that appears to be shared by many who continue to follow the couple’s journey through the ups and downs of celebrity life and relationship milestones.
