Congolese music legend Koffi Olomide has officially tied the knot with his longtime partner and fellow singer Cindy Le Coeur after two decades together, marking a new chapter in their enduring love story.
The couple exchanged vows in a civil ceremony held on Saturday, February 28, in an intimate setting attended by close family and friends.
The venue was beautifully decorated in soft pink, cream, white and touches of yellow flowers, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere.
Floral arrangements framed the ceremony space, while guests sat surrounded by fresh blooms that complemented the couple’s coordinated outfits.
Olomide, 69, kept his look regal yet modern. He wore cream flared pants paired with a textured cream coat detailed with subtle gold accents.
Underneath, he opted for a gold shirt, completing the ensemble with white heeled boots and signature dark shades. His outfit gave a relaxed but confident presence befitting the “King of Ndombolo.”
Cindy, 43, matched the theme effortlessly. She stepped out in cream pants styled with a pink-and-cream patterned top that added a soft pop of color.
Her makeup was neatly done, highlighting her features without overpowering her natural glow. She wore her hair elegantly styled, finishing the look with delicate accessories that suited the floral setting.
Guests could be seen smiling throughout the ceremony, their faces lit with joy as the couple stood before a Congolese state official to formalize their union.
Laughter filled the room at one point when Olomide slipped the ring onto Cindy’s finger and said a few playful words in French, drawing warm reactions from those in attendance.
Cindy appeared emotional and delighted, at one moment audibly saying “oh my God” in disbelief, clearly overwhelmed but over the moon.
After exchanging rings, the couple shared affectionate kisses, sealing the moment with visible happiness.
Olomide proudly lifted his hand to show off his wedding band to guests, sharing a laugh as he admired it before embracing his bride once more.
The atmosphere remained light, filled with applause and cheerful murmurs.
The ceremony, though not a traditional white wedding, was intimate and after signing their marriage certificate, the newlyweds shared a dance, moving gracefully as friends and family watched on approvingly.
Following the event, Olomide shared glimpses of the celebration online, captioning the posts with “May our happiness be yours.”
