From engagement to marriage
The Nikkah ceremony follows several important milestones in the couple's relationship.
L.A.X proposed to Ella on 16 January 2026 in a romantic outdoor setting.
The proposal attracted attention after the singer shared moments from the occasion on social media, including his declaration of commitment to their future together.
The couple subsequently held their traditional wedding in Nigeria in June 2026, before travelling to Malta for their civil wedding in September.
On 16 September 2026, they exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony in Naxxar, Malta, attended by family and friends.
The couple later shared photographs from the occasion, with L.A.X publicly celebrating their marriage.
The singer described the Malta wedding as a special occasion with the love of his life.
The 29 October Nikkah therefore represents another important stage in a relationship that has progressed from engagement to traditional and civil wedding ceremonies.

What happened during the Nikkah ceremony?
Reports indicate that the gathering included several elements associated with an Islamic marriage ceremony.
Activities began with prayers and the introduction of guests before the recitation of verses from the Holy Qur'an.
The programme continued with thanksgiving, the Nikkah proceedings, blessings and a closing prayer.
Donations to the mosque were also reportedly part of the occasion.
A Nikkah is an Islamic marriage ceremony through which a couple formalises their marriage under Islamic law.
The ceremony is an important religious milestone for couples and their families.
Although the event attracted attention on social media, the reports reviewed did not establish its precise venue, the identity of the officiating cleric or the full list of guests.
The available information also does not establish further personal or religious details beyond the confirmed ceremony.
L.A.X's journey in Nigerian music
Beyond his recent personal milestone, L.A.X has maintained a presence in Nigeria's contemporary music industry.
Born Damilola Afolabi, the singer began developing an interest in music during his secondary school years, when he participated in a musical group known as Flyboiz.
He later pursued a solo career and gained wider recognition in 2013 through his collaboration with Wizkid on the song Caro.
The track became an important breakthrough in his career and helped introduce his music to a wider Nigerian and international audience.
He subsequently worked with Wizkid on Ginger, another collaboration that strengthened his profile within the Nigerian Afrobeats scene.
Over the years, L.A.X has continued to release music and develop his identity as an independent recording artiste.
He also established Rasaki Music, providing an additional platform for his activities within the music industry.
His career reflects the development of Nigerian Afrobeats, a music movement that has expanded its international audience through collaborations, digital distribution, performances and the growing visibility of African artistes.

Why the wedding milestone has attracted public attention
Celebrity weddings frequently attract public interest because they bring together entertainment, fashion, family traditions and personal celebrations.
In L.A.X's case, the different stages of his wedding celebrations have generated attention from fans who follow both his music and personal life.
The engagement announcement in January introduced the couple's plans, while their traditional Nigerian wedding and subsequent Malta civil ceremony created further public interest.
The latest Nikkah has added another dimension to the celebrations.
It has also generated discussions about the significance of religious marriage ceremonies and the ways couples combine family traditions with other forms of wedding celebrations.
However, it is important to distinguish confirmed details from online speculation.
The verified reports establish that L.A.X and Ella held a Nikkah ceremony. They do not establish additional claims about personal religious decisions beyond the ceremony itself.
What happens next?
The Nikkah adds to the wedding milestones already celebrated by the couple during 2026.
Attention is expected to remain on their public celebrations and L.A.X's professional activities, including his continuing music career.
The couple have not been reported as announcing additional confirmed details about the ceremony's organisation or a new official programme in the reports reviewed.
For L.A.X, the wedding milestone comes as he continues to balance his personal life with his activities in Nigeria's entertainment industry.
A personal milestone for the Afrobeats singer
The marriage celebrations of L.A.X and Ella provide another glimpse into the personal life of an artiste whose musical journey has extended from his early career beginnings to collaborations with prominent figures in Nigerian music.
Their progression from engagement to traditional marriage, civil wedding and Nikkah demonstrates the different stages of their relationship in 2026.
As fans celebrate the couple's latest milestone, the singer's music career remains an important part of his public identity.
For Simpson Global Media, the development is an entertainment story highlighting the personal celebrations of a Nigerian music artiste while distinguishing confirmed events from unverified social media speculation.
