In a heartwarming display of love, unity, and cultural pride, Priscilla Ojo, daughter of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, tied the knot with Tanzanian music sensation Juma Jux in a series of elaborate wedding ceremonies that captivated fans across the continent.
The celebrations began with a grand traditional Yoruba wedding held in Lagos, Nigeria, where family, friends, and celebrities gathered in dazzling numbers. Despite their long-standing separation, Iyabo Ojo and her estranged husband, Ademidun Ojo, reunited to honor their daughter’s big day—appearing in coordinated traditional attire and even sharing the dance floor in a viral video that stirred emotions online.
The traditional event was a colorful affair, marked by vibrant fashion and star-studded appearances. The bride and groom’s pre-wedding photos had already sparked buzz online, setting the tone for what was to come. Guests graced the event in stunning olive-green aso-ebi lace, while the bridal party added flair with pink agbadas for the groomsmen and matching pink attires with gele for the bridesmaids.
Adding musical grandeur to the occasion, legendary Nigerian juju maestro Ebenezer Obey performed, while Tanzanian superstar Diamond Platnumz brought the East African rhythm. The event saw a strong turnout from Nollywood’s finest, including stars who came to show love and support to one of their own.
The traditional festivities followed an intimate introduction ceremony held in Tanzania, reserved for close family and friends. A few days before Valentine’s Day, Jux surprised Priscilla with a second proposal, this time with a more elaborate ring, in a romantic moment shared widely on social media. The couple made it official with a civil wedding the very next day, attended by celebrities and politicians such as Osun Gov. Ademola Adeleke, Toyin Abraham, Chioma Good Hair, Enioluwa, Obi Cubana, Odunlade Adekola, Femi Adebayo, Eniola Ajao, Wunmi Toriola, Idowu Phillips (Mama Rainbow), Fausat Balogun (Madam Saje), Hassanat Taiwo Akinwande (Wunmi), and many more.
Capping off their wedding festivities, the couple hosted a breathtaking white wedding on Saturday, April 19, 2025, in Lagos. The venue, set against a coastal backdrop and adorned with palm trees and floral decor, exuded elegance and romance. A pristine white aisle, framed by portraits of the couple, led to a ceremony that felt straight out of a fairytale.
Priscilla made a dramatic entrance in a custom-designed butterfly-silhouette gown, walking down the flower-lined aisle on the arm of her father. Jux, visibly emotional, fought back tears as he watched his bride approach. Their bridal party, dressed in rich green ensembles, followed under traditional umbrellas in a nod to their cultural roots.
One of the most touching moments came with the appearance of their “little bride” and “ring bearer.” Imade Adeleke, daughter of Afrobeats superstar Davido, charmed guests in the role of little bride, while Liam, son of the late singer Mohbad, served as the ring bearer—adding layers of meaning and remembrance to the occasion.
The guest list for the white wedding read like a who’s who of African entertainment, with appearances from Rita Dominic, Ini Edo, Juliet Ibrahim, Mercy Aigbe, and Rita Daniels, among others.
Branded online as #JP2025, the Ojo-Jux wedding was more than just a celebration of two lovers—it was a convergence of cultures, families, and stars in a union that captivated audiences across borders and made headlines for all the right reasons.
