BBNaija’s Cross Okonkwo Legalises Union in Civil Wedding: A New Chapter for the Reality TV Star!
Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan, Editor‑in‑Chief | Sele Media Africa
Nigerian reality television personality Cross Okonkwo, widely known from the Big Brother Naija franchise, has officially solemnised his marriage in a civil ceremony, marking a significant milestone in his personal life and relationship journey.
The civil wedding — a legal marriage ceremony recognised by Nigerian law — reportedly took place in late December 2025 in Abia State, where Cross and his partner Chinonso formalised their union before a registry official. The couple’s decision to conclude a civil marriage follows earlier traditional rites and celebrations shared on social media by attendees and admirers of the reality star.
Cross, often dubbed “Cross da Boss” by his fanbase, first rose to prominence through his appearance on Big Brother Naija, where his charismatic presence and entrepreneurial pursuits earned him widespread appeal across Nigeria and the diaspora. His relationship with Chinonso has been the subject of public interest since their engagement, with wedding festivities — including a vibrant traditional ceremony — shared in online videos and posts.
The civil wedding adds a legally recognised dimension to their partnership, granting the couple formal marital status under Nigerian law and providing rights and protections accorded to spouses. Civil ceremonies are increasingly chosen by public figures who seek both privacy and legal certainty as they transition into married life.
While mainstream Nigerian and international news outlets have yet to publish detailed coverage of Cross’s civil wedding at the time of reporting, the event has circulated widely across social media platforms and fan communities, drawing congratulations from followers and peers alike.
As the couple embark on this new chapter, the blend of private celebration and public fascination reflects broader trends in contemporary Nigerian celebrity culture — where personal milestones often unfold in tandem with audience engagement and digital media amplification.
