BBNaija Star Cross Okonkwo Weds Chinonso in Grand Ceremony as Erica, Liquorose, Beauty Tukura Serve as Groomsmen

From Court Wedding to White Wedding — Cross and Chinonso Are Official

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Cross Okonkwo married the love of his life, Chinonso, in a grand white wedding ceremony in Lagos on Saturday — completing a love story that has played out publicly since his proposal in October 2025. The couple had already exchanged vows in a court wedding on February 23, 2026, but Saturday’s ceremony was the full celebration, and the BBNaija family showed up in force to mark the occasion.

A viral clip circulating on social media captured Erica Nlewedim, Liquorose, Beauty Tukura, White Money, and Niyi all serving as groomsmen — decked out in coordinated outfits and drawing as much attention as the couple themselves. The clip spread fast online, with fans losing it over the rare gathering of so many fan-favourite housemates in one place.

A Love Story Nigeria Watched Unfold

Cross — whose full name is Ikechukwu Okonkwo — has been one of the more popular personalities from the BBNaija franchise, known for his warmth and the loyalty of his fanbase, the “Crossfitters.” His relationship with Chinonso developed outside the house, away from the drama of reality TV, and the wedding represents a quieter, more personal chapter after years in the public eye.

In the weeks leading up to the event, Cross issued a public warning about scammers charging up to ₦500,000 for fake invitations to the wedding. “I am not selling tickets — I am only issuing access cards,” he said, urging fans not to fall for the scheme. The warning itself went viral, a testament to just how much public interest surrounded the event.

A Moment for the BBNaija Community

The sight of Erica, Liquorose, Beauty, and others standing by Cross at the altar resonated deeply with fans who have followed these housemates for years. For a franchise that has launched genuine friendships and real-life connections, Saturday’s wedding was a reminder that the bonds formed in the house sometimes last well beyond the finale.

Cross broke down in tears as Chinonso walked down the aisle, a moment that also made the rounds on social media and cemented what is shaping up to be one of the most memorable Nigerian celebrity weddings of 2026.
