The 35-year-old said, despite her preconceived notion about not wanting to marry a singer, she eventually began dating Adekunle because he was a “really nice guy.”
I don’t remember how we eventually linked up again. I had a show Bogobiri, and he turned up. He was very slim at that time with white BYC and jeans. He came to see me perform. I was like, ‘Oh hey!’ He was like, ‘Oh! I’m such a fan.’ And I was like, ‘Okay!’ (laughs).

I don’t know, he must have been persistent because there is a friendship that came out from there. I thought he was a really nice guy. We became friends and later that year, he asked me out.
Simi
I mean, as much as I was sounding like all that, I still didn’t really have nothing. He was a nice guy and I was like, ‘Okay, I don’t mind a nice guy’ (laughs).

Their relationship developed over five years before they tied the knot in 2019.
Simi revealed that their initial meeting at one of her concerts, was where Adekunle’s genuine kindness made her reconsider her stance on dating a musician.
