Adekunle Gold and Simi are one of seven Nigerian celebrity couples whose love stories started on social media, according to Pulse Nigeria. The couple met on Facebook, where Adekunle had been sending Simi messages before they eventually met in person and started a relationship. [1]
Other couples who met online include Banky W and Adesua, who started talking after Banky slid into Adesua's Instagram DMs, and Moses Bliss and Marie Wiseborn, who met after Moses noticed Marie's dance video on social media. [1]
The fact that these celebrity couples met online and have since gotten married and started families highlights the power of social media in bringing people together. However, it is unknown how many other people have had similar experiences, or what the long-term success rate is for online relationships. [1]
