Nigerian music star Simi is marking her 38th birthday with elegance, gratitude, and a jaw-dropping surprise from her husband, Adekunle Gold.
The award-winning singer, born Simisola Bolatito Ogunleye, turned 38 on Sunday, April 19, 2026. She took to Instagram to share a stunning series of birthday photos that perfectly capture her glowing beauty and joyful vibe — from chic close-ups to intimate moments with her husband. In her heartfelt post, Simi described the past year as “a pretty big, long, heavy, and blessed year,” thanking God and her inner circle for their unwavering support. True to her playful personality, she added a witty note: unless she’s spotted out celebrating, someone might need to call the authorities!
But the biggest highlight of the day came courtesy of Adekunle Gold. The Afrobeats hitmaker went all out, surprising his wife with a brand-new Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class luxury SUV and a dazzling diamond ring. Simi shared an emotional video of the moment she laid eyes on the sleek blue Benz, visibly stunned and overcome with joy as she hugged and kissed her husband. She captioned the clip simply: “soft n spoiled.”
Adekunle Gold also shared his own loving tribute on social media, calling Simi his “stillness in a moving world,” his greatest muse, and the “Blue Fire” of his life. “I love you more than any song I could ever write,” he wrote, describing her as his favourite human, his home, and his constant source of peace and strength.
The lavish gesture comes during an already milestone-filled season for the Kosoko household. The couple — who began dating in 2014, got married on January 9, 2019, and celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary in January 2026 — welcomed their second child just last month in March.
Fans and celebrities alike have flooded social media with congratulations, hailing Adekunle Gold for yet another romantic masterclass. This isn’t the first time he’s spoiled Simi publicly on her birthday; in 2023, he gifted her a customised multimillion-naira diamond necklace that also went viral.
Happy 38th Birthday, Simi! From stunning photos to a love-filled surprise, you’re truly living your best life and the world is here for it.
