Speculations have it that the pair met in 2024, and their union has since grown before they made things official.
Nada shared a photo, dressed in a Moroccan Caftan, while her partner was also dressed in native attire.
In one photo posted on her Instagram stories, she captioned: “Alhamdulillah”, which translates to “Thank God”, accompanied by a ring emoji.
In another picture of the newlyweds, the 23-year-old model seemed to confirm the eternal union when she wrote:
"Fi Dunya wa fil Akhirah,” which translates to “in this world and the Hereafter,” a confirmation of their eternal union.
The pair, who have kept their romance lowkey, first went public with their relationship in December last year after they attended Lazio’s Christmas party together.
Meanwhile, Dele-Bashiru will remain with Italian giants Lazio for the 2025–26 season, as the club is committed to retaining the Nigerian midfielder.
Despite missing out on European competitions, manager Maurizio Sarri is focused on a robust Serie A and Coppa Italia campaign.
The Nigerian star has been consistent, and his enhanced tactical awareness and versatility during pre-season have positioned him for a key role in the team’s plans.
