Renowned gospel singer and Nollywood actress, Princess Njideka Okeke, has embarked on a new chapter in her life by remarrying. The celebrated artist, best known for her hit song "Akanchawa," exchanged vows with her new husband in a traditional ceremony held on March 8, 2025, in Anambra State. 

The intimate wedding was attended by close family and friends, reflecting the couple's desire for a private celebration. A video from the event, which circulated on social media, captured Princess Njideka radiating joy as she prepared to join her husband's household. In the footage, she was surrounded by elder women singing traditional Igbo wedding songs, symbolizing blessings and well-wishes for the bride.
