Zlatan Ibile's wedding celebration

Zlatan Ibile, whose full name is Omoniyi Raphael, and his longtime partner Davita were scheduled to hold their wedding celebration on Saturday, October 24, 2026.

The couple, who share two sons, had already completed a private civil ceremony before publicly announcing the October date through a pre-wedding video.

Aso ebi, the coordinated fabric worn by guests as a show of solidarity and celebration at Nigerian events, is a longstanding tradition at weddings of this scale.

Reports circulating before the ceremony indicated that aso ebi packages for the occasion ranged from ₦300,000 for three yards to ₦1.2 million for ten yards, meaning Israel DMW opted for the full package.

The post spread quickly across entertainment circles, with many noting the steep price tag as a reflection of just how grand Zlatan's wedding was expected to be.
