Kunle Remi’s best man was a woman. When the Nollywood actor married Boluwatiwi, known as Tiwi, in January 2024, his friend and co-star Bimbo Ademoye stood beside him in a white agbada, and the wedding fans followed as #KTTV24 became one of the most talked-about of the year.
From Anikulapo to the altar
Kunle Remi had become one of Nollywood’s most recognised leading men, best known for playing Saro in Kunle Afolayan’s 2022 film Anikulapo. He kept his relationship with Tiwi out of public view, and fans learned about her when the couple announced their engagement on New Year’s Day 2024. The wedding followed less than three weeks later.
Two days in January
The celebrations opened on 18 January with a denim-themed cocktail party. On Friday, 19 January, the couple held their Yoruba traditional wedding in Ibadan. Bimbo Ademoye, who became close to Kunle while filming Anikulapo, captioned her photos “Best man duties”, and skit maker Layi Wasabi was among the groomsmen in white. A clip of Tiwi in tears, comforted by her father, spread widely.
The next day the couple exchanged vows at All Saints Chapel. Guests across the weekend included Ini Dima-Okojie, Enyinna Nwigwe, Efa Iwara and Deyemi Okanlawon.
80 days of faith
In March 2025 the couple announced the birth of their daughter, Eemi Oluwa, whom they also call Wonder. Kunle wrote that a difficult pregnancy had left Tiwi on bed rest and that the baby, born early, spent “11 weeks and 3 days (that’s 80 days of faith)” in neonatal care before coming home.
