Nigerian media personality Denrele Edun has drawn attention after âmarryingâ himself to mark his 45th birthday. On June 13, the flamboyant presenter shared professional images and a video of the symbolic ceremony.
Edun, born Adenrele Oluwafemi Adeyemi Edun on June 13, 1981, walked himself down the aisle in wedding attire. He served as both bride and groom in the theatrical photoshoot.
In his posts, Edun declared: âA Nigerian man has married himself after realizing nobody could handle the full subscription package. The Bride said YES. The Groom also said YES. The audience is still recovering.â
He added: âTill death didnât do us part. So I married myself. After 45 years of chaos, glitter, survival, reinvention, controversy, resilience, heartbreak and triumph⊠I remain the greatest love story Iâve ever known.â
The entertainer described marrying âevery version of myself that fought to get here.â He signed off as âThe Bride. The Groom. The HappilyEverAfter.â
The act echoes Edunâs history of extravagant, headline-grabbing celebrations. It also reflects his earlier 2026 admission of being unlucky in love.
Public reactions split sharply. Supporters praised the creativity and self-love message. Critics on X dismissed it as attention-seeking or âself-madness,â with some referencing his cross-dressing persona and joking he would need to divorce himself to remarry.
No legal marriage occurred. The event remained purely performative, consistent with Edunâs unapologetic style that has fueled both admiration and mockery over his career.
The story continues to trend, highlighting ongoing debates around personal expression in Nigerian entertainment. Edun has offered no further comment beyond his initial posts.
