Nigerian street-pop sensation Omoniyi Raphael, popularly known as Zlatan, has finally put months of relationship speculation to rest by announcing his upcoming wedding to longtime partner Davita Lamai. The couple revealed that their official ceremony will take place on October 24, 2026, sharing the joyous milestone with fans in a heartwarming Instagram video.
The announcement video, simply captioned with the wedding date and bearing the official hashtag #DTTheUnion, features a touching narration from one of their young sons. "When I think about love, I think about my mommy and daddy," the child says in the clip, expressing gratitude to God for their family bond. Prominent figures in the entertainment industry quickly flooded the comments to celebrate the couple, with music superstar Davido writing, "Na man U be" under the post.
The path to the altar has been closely watched by fans, marked by public milestones, relationship hurdles, and private celebrations. The pair first sparked break-up rumors in February 2023 when they briefly unfollowed each other on Instagram, though they quickly reconciled without publicly addressing the speculation. Questions regarding their official marital status resurfaced in early 2026 when Zlatan reportedly referred to Davita as his baby mama rather than his wife following a viral post, sending fans into a frenzy.
However, signs of an impending commitment quickly followed. By March 2026, the couple shared cozy family photos displaying matching rings, and Davita updated her Instagram profile to bear Zlatan's surname, Omoniyi. Photos from a private civil ceremony subsequently surfaced online in May, though the couple initially kept quiet about the legal union. Excitement built further in July when singer Teni openly introduced Davita as Zlatan's wife during a trip to music executive Soso Soberekon's wedding, hinting at the grand celebration to come.
Together, Zlatan and Davita share two sons, Toluwalase and Benaiah, the latter of whom was born in 2024. While the Zanku pioneer is known for dominating the Nigerian music scene with street-pop hits, he has largely guarded his family life from the public eye, sharing intimate glimpses only on rare occasions. With the official wedding date now locked in, fans eagerly await further details on what promises to be one of the industry's biggest celebrations of the year.
