Ten years after their white wedding, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu got down on one knee again, this time in front of St Peter’s Basilica. The Big Brother Naija host re-proposed to Cynthia in Vatican City in February 2026.
Engaged in Lagos
Ebuka, a lawyer, presenter and the long-running host of Big Brother Naija, got engaged to Cynthia Obianodo in Lagos in April 2015. He was already Nigeria’s most watched television host and its most talked-about dresser, so the wedding looks were always going to be scrutinised.
Anambra and Abuja
The couple held their traditional wedding in Anambra State later in 2015, following Igbo customs. Their white wedding took place in Abuja on 6 February 2016. Grooms still use Ebuka’s outfits from both ceremonies as a style reference, and his agbada and suit choices are regularly reposted on wedding pages.
Ten years on
The couple have children together and mark anniversaries publicly. For their tenth, on 6 February 2026, they travelled to Rome, and Ebuka re-proposed in Vatican City. Photos of him kneeling on the cobbles went viral across Nigeria.
