Nigerian singer Spyro has opened up about the unexpected love story that led to his marriage, revealing that he met his wife, Janet Atum, at a Lagos nightclub—but insists she was there to work, not to party. The revelation has sparked widespread reactions online, with fans debating the irony given the singer’s long-standing “church boy” image.
Speaking in a recent interview, the “Who Is Your Guy?” hitmaker recounted meeting Janet at exactly 2:48 a.m. on March 30, 2024, while he was performing at the club. According to Spyro, Janet was working as a makeup artist at the venue, and her professionalism immediately caught his attention.
“I met my partner working in the club, not partying in the club,” Spyro explained, stressing that there is nothing inherently wrong with clubbing but clarifying that she was simply doing her job. He said his curiosity about why she worked there led to their first conversation, which blossomed into a friendship before eventually turning into love.
The singer admitted that marriage was not on his mind when they first met. However, as their friendship grew, he realized she possessed the qualities he had been praying for in a life partner. Their relationship later progressed quietly, with Spyro reportedly gifting her a property in Abuja before they eventually tied the knot.
His story has generated mixed reactions on social media. While many fans praised the couple’s journey and described it as proof that love can be found in unexpected places, others joked about the contrast between Spyro’s outspoken Christian values and the fact that his love story began in a nightclub. The singer has maintained that the circumstances of their meeting do not contradict his faith, emphasizing that both he and his wife were working when their paths crossed.
Spyro’s candid account has since gone viral, with many celebrating the authenticity of his story and wishing the couple a happy married life.
