Nollywood actress Bimbo Ademoye on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, clarified wedding rumours involving actor Timini Egbuson after romantic photographs of the pair sparked widespread speculation across social media.
The images showed Ademoye and Egbuson in what appeared to be pre-wedding poses, prompting fans to speculate that the two actors had taken their relationship beyond the screen.
The speculation gained momentum because both actors are familiar faces to Nollywood audiences and have developed strong followings among younger viewers.
Ademoye eventually revealed that the photographs were not evidence of a real wedding or engagement. Instead, the images were created as part of the promotion for an upcoming film.
The project, titled My 30th Wedding, is scheduled to premiere on Ademoye’s YouTube channel, BimboAdemoyeTV, on Thursday, October 1.
In a joint Instagram post with Egbuson on Wednesday, Ademoye invited viewers to watch the new production while maintaining the playful tone that had helped fuel the speculation.
“Tomorrow we watch one of the most beautiful feel good love movie ever made,” she wrote.
Ademoye added that viewers could expect to smile and perhaps shed “a tiny itsy bitsy tears”, while expressing confidence that audiences would enjoy the production.
The clarification brought an entertaining twist to the wedding rumours, with several fans admitting that the photographs had looked convincing enough to suggest a genuine ceremony.
Some followers even urged the actors to turn the on-screen romance into a real-life relationship.
One Instagram user, Enioluwa Adeoluwa, jokingly encouraged the pair to proceed to the altar, while another fan said the promotional photographs were better than many real wedding shoots.
Other reactions reflected the same mixture of surprise and amusement, with fans questioning whether the images could really be only for a film.
The reaction highlights the ability of Nollywood stars to generate strong audience interest through social media storytelling, particularly when promotional material deliberately blurs the line between fiction and reality.
For Ademoye and Egbuson, the viral photographs have now become an effective introduction to My 30th Wedding, with curiosity surrounding the film likely to extend beyond the initial wedding speculation.
The film is set to premiere on October 1, giving viewers the opportunity to see the story behind the photographs that briefly sent social media into a frenzy.
