Popular Nigerian social media couple Safiya Umar and Ahmed XM have officially announced their divorce, bringing an end to a highly publicized marriage that lasted just over a year.
Safiya, 23, and Ahmed XM, 27, a well-known TikTok influencer and crypto trader, tied the knot in early 2024, captivating audiences with their glamorous online presence. The couple welcomed a daughter shortly after their marriage, further endearing them to followers. However, Safiya’s post today revealed the end of their union.
The divorce announcement follows a busy year for Ahmed, who earlier in 2025 married Safeera Abba, his childhood sweetheart and former TikTok partner with whom he first gained fame. Ahmed and Safeera’s public courtship, marked by romantic videos that amassed over a million followers, ended abruptly in 2023 when they parted ways, reportedly due to compatibility issues. His sudden marriage to Safiya, a relatively unknown figure at the time, shocked fans and led to widespread speculation.
The rapid sequence of events of Ahmed marrying Safiya, having a child, and then wedding Safeera has fueled online chatter.
