In their first official pre-wedding images, Ife of Diary of a Naija Girl and Frank offer more than a visual introduction to their union; they present a quiet, intentional tribute to the lives and legacies that shaped them.
Frank is seen in a refined navy ensemble, worn in honour of his late father, who passed away in 2018. The choice of navy speaks to steadiness, dignity, and the legacy of manhood passed from one generation to the next.
Beside him, Ife wears a traditional gele and komole iro and bùbá, a heartfelt tribute to her late mother, who passed away in 2005. This look honors Yoruba heritage, her mother’s unique fashion sense, and, most importantly, celebrates the lasting impact of her mother’s words on her life.
Together, these images reflect a union deeply conscious of where it comes from.
This first look marks the start of a story told with intention, reverence, and grace. Across Nigeria and the global African diaspora, anticipation continues to build as many look forward to witnessing Ife and Frank’s union. Loved both at home and abroad, their story has captured hearts, with audiences eagerly rooting for them and ready to celebrate — online and offline — as this next chapter unfolds.
