Former Aviation Minister and controversial political figure, Femi Fani-Kayode, has once again made headlines — this time for matters of the heart. In a quiet but elegant ceremony, the outspoken politician has married his third wife, adding a new chapter to his colorful personal life.
The private wedding reportedly took place in Abuja, with only close family members, friends, and a few political associates in attendance. Sources close to the family revealed that the bride, whose identity is being kept discreet for now, is said to be “well-educated, reserved, and deeply spiritual” — qualities Fani-Kayode is believed to have found admirable.
Photos from the intimate event show the couple in traditional attire, beaming with joy as they exchanged vows. Though the ceremony was understated compared to his previous high-profile weddings, it still carried the signature Fani-Kayode flair — tasteful décor, cultural elegance, and the presence of high society figures.
Fani-Kayode, a lawyer, former minister, and chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has long been a prominent figure in Nigeria’s political and social landscape. Known for his fiery speeches, Twitter rants, and passionate defense of national issues, his personal life has also drawn considerable public interest over the years.
This latest marriage marks his third union, following previous relationships that ended amid public controversy and media scrutiny. Despite those setbacks, Fani-Kayode appears to have found renewed hope and happiness with his new bride.
In a brief comment shared via his official social media handle, he wrote:
“Love is a beautiful gift from God. I thank the Almighty for blessing me once again with a partner who brings peace, light, and grace into my life.”
Reactions to the union have been mixed, with supporters congratulating him on finding love again, while critics question his track record in past marriages. Still, Fani-Kayode remains unfazed by public opinion, choosing instead to focus on his personal joy and the start of what he describes as “a new and fulfilling chapter.”
As well-wishers continue to pour in their congratulations, insiders say the newlyweds are planning a honeymoon outside the country and may keep a low profile in the weeks ahead.
Whether it’s politics or personal life, Femi Fani-Kayode knows how to command attention — and with this new marriage, he’s once again at the center of national conversation.
