The internet was taken by surprise when clips and pictures from the traditional wedding ceremony of ex-Big Brother Naija star Leo Dasilva to his lover Maryam Laushi sprung up on the internet.
The ceremony took place in Kaduna. He was seen gallantly dressed in full traditional attire, performing the marriage rites alongside his bride, Laushi.
The news of his marriage came as a shock to many, considering how there was no buildup to the wedding on all his social media, no engagement posts or rumors what so ever.
The only thing close enough was a tweet he posted the very day before complaining about an airline where he mentioned that he was going to Kaduna for ‘a wedding’, but didn’t mention whose wedding it was.
Da Silva’s tweet read, “Came to Kaduna for a wedding that is tomorrow morning. Airpeace without informing anyone left luggage in Lagos. Is this not madness?”
Following the news of his marriage, he trended across social media and internet detectives dug up an old tweet from 2018 when the two met at a business function.
Da Silva’s wedding was not the only event that was conducted on the low; back in 2022 when he proposed to his woman, he also did not publicise it because according to him, it was not official in the sight of the Lord yet.
Speaking to Punch, he said, “I am engaged. I did not make it public because I will announce it when I am married. I did not see the need to announce what had not been formalised in God’s presence yet.”
He isn’t the only BBNaija male housemates are getting married this year. Trikytee was followed by Frodd, Chizzy, and now Leo Da Silva.
Congratulatory messages haven’t stopped coming in for the reality TV star and his bride across all social media.
