Efya Marries Nigerian Singer Tomi Thomas, Surprises Fans Who Remember Her Views on Marriage

Ghanaian singer Efya has surprised fans across Africa after reportedly tying the knot with Nigerian musician Tomi Thomas, years after openly saying that marriage was not part of her plans.

The award-winning singer, whose real name is Jane Awindor, celebrated her marriage to Tomi Thomas in Accra, Ghana, over the weekend. The celebrations included a traditional wedding on Friday, November 6, followed by a white wedding on Saturday, November 7, 2026.

The ceremonies attracted family members, friends and several familiar faces from the entertainment industry. Efya embraced her Ghanaian roots in a beautiful kente outfit for the traditional ceremony, while she later stunned in an elegant white lace gown for the white wedding. Tomi Thomas complemented her looks with traditional attire and a white tuxedo.

While fans have been sending congratulatory messages to the couple, many are particularly surprised by the news because of Efya's previous comments about marriage.

In a 2020 interview, the singer had openly expressed that she did not see herself getting married. Her old comments have since resurfaced on social media, prompting conversations about how much her views have changed over the years.

Interestingly, Efya appears to have taken the reactions in good humour. Responding to a social media post highlighting her previous comments, she jokingly wrote, "Lol I guess I lied... Oppsssssss."

Her response has added a playful twist to what has become one of the major entertainment talking points.

Beyond the surprise, Efya's wedding also brings up an interesting conversation about celebrity image and privacy. Celebrities often share personal opinions during interviews, but those opinions should not be treated as permanent promises.

People grow, change their minds and make different choices as life unfolds. Being famous does not take away that freedom.

Efya has also shown that it is possible to enjoy a public career while keeping certain parts of one's personal life away from constant attention.

For fans, the wedding is a reminder that there is more to their favourite celebrities than what they see in interviews and on social media.

Congratulations to Efya and Tomi Thomas on their new journey together.
