Nigerian gospel singer Steve Crown has officially tied the knot with his partner, Ruth Thomas, in a beautiful wedding ceremony that has captivated fans and fellow artistes across social media.
Steve Crown publicly introduced Ruth in late March, and their union was finally sealed on Saturday in Abuja. The event stirred widespread reactions after a video surfaced showing Ruth kneeling before Steve to take her vows — a moment that quickly went viral.
The emotional clip, shared by fellow gospel singers Joe Praize and Neon Adejo on X (formerly Twitter), captured Ruth, radiant in a stunning white gown, as she professed her love and lifelong commitment to Steve.
“POV: That unforgettable moment when Steve Crown’s wife went on her knees — a picture of honor, love, and deep reverence,” Neon Adejo captioned the video.

In her heartfelt vows, Ruth Thomas declared,
“I will be your heaven of peace and source of unwavering support. I vow to reason with an open heart and to share my dreams. I promise to be your cheerleader, your partner, and your anchor.
With you, I have discovered the true essence of love, and I vow to cherish it with all that I am. I vow to love you unconditionally; I choose you every day, and to honour our secret bond.”
The act of kneeling sparked mixed reactions online. While many social media users praised Ruth’s humility and respect, others critiqued the traditional gesture. However, the majority celebrated the couple’s public display of love, commitment, and Christian values.
Following the wedding ceremony, Steve Crown expressed heartfelt gratitude to God for blessing him with a “woman after His own heart.”
Earlier, on April 18, the lovebirds held a vibrant traditional wedding ceremony. During the occasion, Ruth Thomas poured out her affection for Steve, describing him as “the love of my life” and “someone that completes me.”
“He constantly motivates me to do better and always stands by my side as my cheerleader and chaperone. He is the reason why I smile, the reason why I’m happy. He means the whole world to me,” she said.
Steve Crown, best known for his gospel hit “You Are Great,” had announced his engagement on March 23, sharing a heartwarming proposal video. In the clip, he gently placed a crown on Ruth’s head, symbolizing their union before God and their journey into a shared future.
Captioning the post, he wrote,
“Officially off the market! Two hearts fused by God… A walk to forever and the beginning of my best days.”
At the time, he had kept Ruth’s identity under wraps, only later revealing that Ruth Thomas, a successful realtor, was the woman who captured his heart.
The couple’s marriage has drawn congratulatory messages from notable gospel artists including Judikay, Moses Bliss, Okopi Peterson, Joe Praize, Kaestrings, and Eben.
This latest celebrity wedding follows closely after the high-profile union between influencer Priscilla Ojo and Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, which also dominated social media headlines.
