Crystal Palace footballer Ebere Eze has traditionally tied the knot with his partner Izuthe Mulatto in a ceremony held in London on Friday.
The UK-born Nigerian footballer celebrated the traditional wedding ceremony surrounded by family members and close associates. The event marks another milestone in the couple's relationship journey that began in their teenage years.
Eze and Mulatto had previously formalized their union legally in May 2022, after dating for three years. The couple first made their relationship public on Instagram in 2019.
The 26-year-old midfielder, who represents England internationally despite his Nigerian heritage, has been a standout performer for Crystal Palace in the Premier League. His traditional wedding ceremony highlights his connection to his Nigerian roots.
The celebration comes at a time when Crystal Palace has been enjoying success on the pitch, having recently defeated Manchester City to lift the FA Cup trophy, which secured them a spot in the UEFA Europa League for the upcoming season.
Videos from the ceremony shared on social media showed the couple in traditional Nigerian attire, celebrating their heritage with cultural elements incorporated throughout the event.
