Veekee James and Femi Atere tied the knot on February 10, 2024, in a star-studded wedding that drew major attention online. The ceremony featured several celebrities and trended widely, especially after the designer revealed she used a 200-member choir during the celebration.
Despite facing criticism at the time from some social media users who felt the wedding was extravagant, Veekee has consistently spoken warmly about her husband. During a church thanksgiving shortly after their wedding, she described Femi as “the best man God has ever given” her, adding that he brought her peace and humility.
Now, the couple is preparing for a new chapter: parenthood, with fans celebrating the growing family.
