When two artists who write, record, and live love land on the same track, the result can feel less like a collaboration and more like a window into a real-life duet. Adekunle Gold and Simi’s [**_“Look What You Made Me Do”_**](https://youtu.be/_Bql3FUrI4Q?si=sA1eDojuz7geuGQe) — a highlight from Adekunle’s _Tequila Ever After_ era — is exactly that: a song and video that turned the chemistry fans already knew about into a widely watched moment (the official uploads have racked up millions of views).

What makes their work together compelling isn’t just polish or production; it’s familiarity. The two have been a public couple since they confirmed a long-term relationship and quietly tied the knot in January 2019 — a marriage they celebrated publicly in subsequent years, marking their [**sixth anniversary**](https://tribuneonlineng.com/simi-adekunle-gold-celebrate-six-years-wedding-anniversary/) in early 2025. Their private beginnings and steady public presence create a rare balance between intimacy and celebrity.

They’re also parents: the couple welcomed their daughter, Adejare (Deja), in May 2020 — a tiny co-star who inspired one of Simi’s biggest fan-favorite songs, _“Duduke.”_ Their family moments — from sweet studio clips to birthday celebrations — surface often enough to feel genuine, but they still keep the deepest parts of family life offstage.

Beyond likes and headlines, the duo also dominates social platforms on their own terms. [**Adekunle Gold’s official**](https://www.instagram.com/adekunlegold?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=anZpanFuem9xdjVp) accounts reach in the millions, and Simi’s footprint is just as large — both enjoy multi-million followings that amplify every joint release and life update (fan-run pages also exist with tens of thousands of followers capturing highlights). Those platforms are where fans first cheered the video, reacted to candid clips, and celebrated the couple’s milestones.

Recent months have added another chapter to their life story: the couple announced the acquisition of a new home in July 2025, sharing intimate photos and the understated caption, _“Another address, same love.”_ That move — celebrated across Nigerian and international outlets — feels like the logical next beat for two artists building both careers and a life together.

Musically, the pair challenge a few old narratives. Where some assume musicians’ relationships are doomed, performative, or fragile, Adekunle Gold and Simi routinely model a collaborative partnership — supporting solo projects (Simi’s _Lost and Found_ and Adekunle’s _Tequila Ever After_ campaigns), stepping into each other’s creative spaces, and even using personal experiences (parenthood, health, growth) to inform their art. Adekunle has also used his platform for advocacy, speaking about personal health challenges and charitable work, showing that celebrity can carry social purpose too.

Yes, comparisons to famous Hollywood pairings (the glossy — and sometimes tragic — romances of the movies) will pop up. But the headline here isn’t drama; it’s durability built on mutual respect, a shared creative life, and an openness that doesn’t trade privacy for publicity. The music video for “Look What You Made Me Do” is a visual footnote that fans tune in to — to see authenticity, not manufactured sparks.

**Bottom line**: Adekunle Gold and Simi keep proving that love and craft can reinforce one another. The collaborations are sweet because they’re rooted in relationships, not a publicity stunt — and each new release, tour date, or family post just feels like another verse in a duet that’s still being written.
