Despite what the internet thinks about Big Brother Naija star Emmanuel Umoh and his new wife, Cylia Nyanghe, it is obvious that love lives with them.
Kemi Filani reported that on Friday, April 17th, the couple legally got hitched at a court ceremony. His wife, via her Instagram story, shared clips from the low-key ceremony, which caused a stir online as the reality star bore an unhappy countenance for someone who was legally getting married.
A video from their wedding reception is making the rounds online, showing the couple sharing a sweet moment. In the clip, Emmanuel and Cylia stood behind their cake as they cut it. Emmanuel, in a show of love to his wife, kissed her forehead as he held her.
The couple were also seen in another clip taking their first dance step, as the reality star held tightly to her waist.
Following their wedding, Cylia told Nigerians to be prepared for their white wedding, which would take place in December 2027. According to her, the wedding will be held in both Cameroon and Nigeria.
Earlier this week, Emmanuel announced that he was set to tie the knot with a US-based Cameroonian woman, Cilia Nyanghe. He shared their pre-wedding photos online, revealing that their wedding was slated for April 17th.
Two years ago, Emmanuel set social media abuzz after expressing a longing for a certain someone and admitting he missed that person. Many linked his tweet to his ex, Liquorose.
Recall that Liquorose was once in a relationship with Emmanuel and they had a messy breakup. The duo thrashed their relationship issues during the shine Ya Eye reunion.
Refreshing your memory, the drama unfolded when Rose accused Emmanuel of infidelity, claiming she caught him in bed with another woman. She further revealed that he expressed a desire for an open relationship where he could freely interact with other women. The level of disrespect allegedly reached a breaking point for Rose, leading to the end of their high-profile relationship.
During the BBN reunion, Emmanuel shocked many viewers by vehemently denying his involvement with Rose, even stating that he had never asked her to be his girlfriend. This unexpected turn left fans bewildered, especially given the couple’s public expressions of affection and commitment throughout their time on the reality show.
Emmanuel and Rose had been a beloved couple on BBN, captivating audiences with their genuine connection during the Shine Your Eye season. They had even left the show as a couple and openly discussed their intentions for a relationship in subsequent interviews. The abrupt denial during the reunion left a lasting impact, prompting many netizens to criticise Emmanuel for his actions.
