In a candid revelation during a recent episode of Ride Along, Davido shared that the couple is prioritizing Chioma’s entrepreneurial ambitions and their individual growth before considering more children. The interview, which went viral over the weekend, gave fans a glimpse into their evolving family dynamics and future plans.
A Pause on Parenthood for New Beginnings
Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, explained that after welcoming twins in 2023—a boy and a girl—the couple feels it’s time for Chioma to explore her passions outside motherhood.
“I don’t want more children now. My wife and I are taking a break,” he said. “She needs to get out and work. She wants to do a lot of things, like opening her restaurant and launching her spices. I feel she deserves a couple of years off after having three kids.”
The couple’s decision comes after enduring a heartbreaking loss—the tragic passing of their first son, Ifeanyi, in a drowning accident in 2022. The arrival of their twins last year brought renewed joy, but Davido emphasized that Chioma now deserves time to focus on her own aspirations.
Chioma’s Entrepreneurial Journey: Spices and Beyond
According to Davido, Chioma is splitting her time between Nigeria and abroad as she prepares to launch her own business. Her first major venture? A line of spices inspired by her renowned cooking skills.
“She is here mostly now, so I think she is going to open something here first, both in Nigeria and abroad,” Davido shared. “But the main thing is the spices for now—getting them into major stores worldwide, both in Africa and the diaspora. Her food tastes amazing.”
Fans have long praised Chioma’s culinary expertise, with many eagerly anticipating her entry into the food industry. While details about her restaurant plans remain under wraps, the spice line is expected to be her first major commercial project.
Supporting Each Other’s Growth
Davido’s comments highlight a modern approach to marriage and family planning, where couples balance parenthood with personal and professional ambitions. His acknowledgment of Chioma’s need for time to build her own legacy reflects a shift from traditional expectations, resonating with many young couples navigating similar dynamics.
As Davido continues to dominate the global Afrobeats scene and Chioma steps into entrepreneurship, fans will be watching closely to see how this power couple evolves—both in business and in love.
For now, one thing is clear: Family will always come first, but sometimes, growth means pressing pause to chase new dreams.
