Afrobeats star Ruger, real name Michael Adebayo Olayinka, has surprised fans with a major life update—he plans to tie the knot in 2025.
The Asiwaju hitmaker revealed that the wave of weddings around him made him reflect on his playboy lifestyle and question how long he could keep it up. In a Snapchat post, he shared his decision, writing:
“Everybody is just getting married. Got me questioning myself—how long will I continue this Playboy shiii? I’m settling down this year, period. I’ll soon be 30, tf.”
Previously, Ruger had admitted to falling in love easily, saying that gifts and compliments often spark his feelings for women. He once even claimed he could love five women equally at the same time, making his decision to settle down a surprising turn of events.
Interestingly, Ruger isn’t the only Nigerian celebrity looking to embrace marriage this year. Just weeks ago, DJ Cuppy, real name Florence Otedola, expressed a similar sentiment. On Valentine’s Day 2025, she took to social media to manifest her desire for marriage, writing:
“Happy #ValentinesDay to me! Manifesting that this is my last one unmarried. Lord, do your thing!”
The billionaire heiress has had a high-profile love life, previously dating former Super Eagles striker Victor Anichebe, though their relationship ended in 2017 due to long-distance struggles.
With Ruger’s declaration, fans are eager to see who the lucky bride will be. Will 2025 be the year of celebrity weddings? Time will tell!
