Ghanaian singer Efya once said marriage wasn’t for her. Now she’s married Nigerian musician Tomi Thomas, and she has a playful reply for her old claim.
Now the Ghanaian singer is a married woman, and she has owned up to the U-turn with a cheeky one-liner. She tied the knot with Nigerian musician Tomi Thomas in a two-day celebration that began on Friday, November 6, 2026.
The couple, who are 39 and 33 respectively, started with a traditional ceremony that drew several Ghanaian celebrities and other entertainment industry names. Efya, whose real name is Jane Awindor, wore a kente outfit with carefully chosen colours and intricate beadwork. Thomas dressed in classic traditional attire, and the look reflected the blend of their two cultures.
The celebration moved to a white wedding on Saturday, November 7. Efya wore a classic white lace gown with a matching veil, while Thomas stepped out in a white suit. Her walk down the aisle was one of the standout moments of the day, and several top musicians were there to celebrate with the couple. AmeyawTV also shared a clip of the two sealing the ceremony with a kiss.
Of course, the internet has a memory too. A 2020 interview resurfaced in which Efya said she didn’t see marriage in her future and would never get married. When Instablog Naija posted about the wedding, she didn’t dodge it. She simply replied, “lol I guess i lied … Oppssssss.”
No long explanation, no defensive tone, just a laugh and an “oops.”
Efya has built her name as a singer, songwriter and actress, known for her soulful vocals and her place in Ghana’s music scene. Whatever changed her mind about marriage, she clearly isn’t hiding it. She said never in 2020, and she’s now openly taking those words back.
