Efya and Tomi Thomas are married, and their wedding weekend in Accra ended with a second celebration: the naming and dedication of their baby girl. The Ghanaian singer, known as Efya Nokturnal, and Nigerian musician Tomi Thomas packed three ceremonies into three days, and by Sunday night the couple had a new surname to share and a daughter’s full name to announce.
The celebrations began on Friday, 6 November, with a colourful traditional marriage ceremony in Accra, built around kente and gold. On Saturday, 7 November, the couple exchanged vows again at a white wedding at the Underbridge Annex, in front of family, friends and some of the biggest names in Ghanaian entertainment. Then on Sunday, 8 November, they gathered at Cedar Church, Assemblies of God, for the christening, naming and thanksgiving dedication of their daughter.
A name that honours both families
During the church service, Efya and Tomi Thomas officially announced their daughter’s name: Zoe-Blair Adara Nana Efya Ankyaa Oluwateniayo Thomas. Reports say the name was chosen to reflect both sides of the family, weaving together English, Akan and Yoruba names. The three-day celebration was shared online under the hashtag #TJLuV26, and guests included Nana Ama McBrown, Gyakie, Bisa Kdei, Adina, Sefa, D-Black, Kwaw Kese and Bola Ray. Actress Fella Makafui and socialite Hajia4Reall also drew attention in coordinated bridal train outfits.
The wedding caps a romance that became public in February 2026, when the couple’s families held a knocking ceremony on Valentine’s Day, 14 February. Their management later clarified that the knocking ceremony did not complete the traditional marriage rites, leaving the November weekend as the formal celebration. Reports put Efya at 39 and Tomi Thomas at 33, and note that an old 2020 interview in which Efya said she might never marry has been circulating again since the wedding news broke.
A star-studded weekend in Accra
The traditional ceremony on Friday drew government and entertainment figures, including Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts Abla Dzifa Gomashie, Sister Derby, Efia Odo and Kafui Danku, according to reports from the weekend. Saturday’s white wedding kept the same energy, with the Underbridge Annex filled with musicians, media personalities and dignitaries from Ghana and Nigeria. Sunday’s church service was the quieter, more personal finale, with the couple presenting their daughter for dedication in front of loved ones.
For Efya, whose voice has made her one of Ghana’s most recognisable singers, the weekend was a rare public look at her private life. For Tomi Thomas, it was a homecoming of sorts too, with Nigerian and Ghanaian stars sharing the same room. The couple have not announced any honeymoon plans, and no further details about their daughter have been shared beyond her name. What is clear is that the #TJLuV26 weekend delivered exactly what the couple promised their fans: a wedding, a celebration, and a brand-new family milestone all in one.
