Nigerian singer Simi is known by many as a shy Christian girl. Her music career also started on the gospel scene, so her private life has always been pretty guarded. There is very little information about Simi’s love life. However, what there is, you’ll find it on Lovelife.
Before Simi’s fame in music, her relationship status was something the public didn’t care about, and apparently, neither did the ‘Love don’t care’ crooner. She was relatively single for most of her career, and the ‘Jamb question’ singer made sure her love life was a well-kept secret from the media.
FIRST LOVE
In an interview early in her career, Simi spoke about her first love when she was still a teenager “I met him when I was 13 and in SS1. I was just about to turn 14, and he had just come to my school. How do you explain that as a child? But it did happen, and he left my school after a while, so we drifted apart. Then we met somewhere again. We drifted apart again, and then that was it.” What is youth, if not a time to experience a confusing first love? Simi is like us in that regard.
SIMI AND FALZ
After Simi rose to prominence in 2016, she and Falz worked closely together on some hit songs, including a remix of her critically acclaimed record ‘Jamb Question’. After this, the duo released an EP titled Chemistry which leveraged their musical chemistry in the studio. However, the music fan base thought more than met the eye and had chemistry in the bedroom.

However, Simi revealed that they bought played along because it was selling records but that they’ve always just been friends. This is what the Duduke singer said after the video for ‘Soldier’, another song they did together was released “I guessed many people sensed the chemistry we had making music, and then they just assumed automatically that we were into a relationship, which is not true. I am taking my time to answer this question because many people think otherwise. But the truth is that Falz and I are just friends. It was just a shoot, and I think because we both made music together at the time. The talk doesn’t bother me.”
MYSTERY RELATIONSHIP
In 2016, though, Simi was asked if she was in a relationship, and she answered in the affirmative: ‘Yes, I am in a relationship. I hope he is the one because I don’t think relationships should be for leisure. I can’t speak for anybody but me. If I am giving you access to that part of my life, it has to be worth my while and worth his while. But I can’t force it though, if he is the one, fine and if not, fine.’
SIMI AND ADEKUNLE GOLD
Many believed that Adekunle Gold was the person she was in a relationship with because she said, “I love working on his stuff,” referring to Adekunle Gold’smusic. Still, fans took the meaning more literally as stuff can mean several things. Gold also has a close relationship with Simi, which might have quickly made their fans think that they are in a relationship.
Although she always openly denied the claims of dating Falz, she was more defensive and avoided a direct answer whenever the topic of dating Adekunle Gold was brought up. When asked if the rumour about her and Adekunle Gold, she laughed and said,” I don’t have any comment on that.”The interviewer persisted in asking if he was the one she said she was dating. Simi stood her ground ” don’t even talk about my personal life, so I am not saying anything on that one.”The songstress always maintained that she had a friendly relationship with the singer. In January 2019, after the couple had a secret marriage with only 300 close friends in attendance, including Falz, they revealed that they had been dating for five years before the marriage.
Is the private relationship approach the best for all celebrities? It seems to be working for Adekunle Gold and Simi. The couple welcomed a daughter together last year, and all indications show that all is well and rosy.
