Nigerian-German footballer Karim Adeyemi has tied the knot with his older girlfriend, Loredana Zefi, in a low-key ceremony.
The 22-year-old forward married the 29-year-old Swiss rapper in October, with the couple revealing the news in an Instagram post on Monday.
Loredana shared a collage of intimate moments, including a close-up of their matching rings, with a simple caption reading, “2.10.24,” marking the date of their union.
Adeyemi expressed his affection with the heartfelt comment, “Forever my love,” which melted hearts across the internet.
Loredana, who was previously married to Kosovan-Albanian rapper Mozzik and has a daughter, Hana, with him, has since changed her last name to Adeyemi on her verified Instagram profile.
The couple has been spotted bonding with Hana on several occasions, showcasing their blended family dynamic during their summer holidays.
Born in Germany to a Romanian mother and Nigerian father from Ibadan, Oyo, Adeyemi is currently back in Nigeria to continue his yearly investments in football and youth development.
