Nigerian TikTok sensations Habeeb Hamzat, known as Peller, and Elizabeth Amadou Aminata, known as Jarvis, have officially completed their traditional marriage rites, marking a major milestone in a relationship that has captivated the nation for nearly two years. The couple, who first connected on a TikTok live session in 2023, saw Peller travel to Jarvis's hometown in Benin City to pay her bride price and formalize their union.
How They Met
The pair's first encounter was on a TikTok livestream in 2023, when both were already building followings as content creators. According to Jarvis, she was not initially impressed, finding Peller loud and, by some accounts, outright rude. Peller has said that Jarvis joined one of his livestreams with her sister, and the two simply got talking. What began as a chaotic online interaction quickly evolved into a recurring double act that fans couldn't stop watching. A few weeks later, the pair posted a set of romance-themed, 90s-inspired photos together, immediately fueling dating speculation. By 2024, fans were convinced something real was brewing, though both parties spent much of that year avoiding direct confirmation.
Confirmation and Controversies
The confirmation of their relationship was messy and very public. In December 2024, Peller proposed to Jarvis on camera, and a day later she was seen in a now-deleted video wearing Edo cultural attire captioned "your bride to be." She quickly walked it back, insisting the ring was a promise ring, not an engagement ring. Months later, in July 2025, Jarvis admitted on the show Rubbin' Minds that the proposal had in fact been real, but she had downplayed it publicly because she felt they were both still too young.
Their relationship has rarely stayed behind closed doors. A fake pregnancy stunt in August 2025, complete with a photoshopped baby bump, got fans talking before it was revealed to be a hoax. Earlier in April 2025, Jarvis briefly insisted their relationship was strictly a content-creation contract, not a romance, after a tense confrontation in Ghana over Peller's affectionate gestures toward female fans. Tensions resurfaced again when Peller alleged Jarvis was involved in money laundering through livestream gift splits, a claim her management called false and defamatory. Perhaps the most widely criticized episode came in August 2025, when viral clips appeared to show Peller forcing Jarvis into a car after a concert, an incident many fans felt crossed a line.
The Proposal
On June 3, 2026, Peller proposed again, this time for good, during a beachfront ceremony at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra, Ghana. Jarvis later explained the choice of Ghana was about safety, citing fears that touts back home might disrupt the moment or demand money. Announcing the engagement, Peller wrote: "Forever starts now... Here's to a lifetime of love, laughter, and making memories together. Now excuse us… we have a wedding to plan."
Traditional Marriage
Just weeks later, Peller traveled to Jarvis's family home in Benin City for the traditional introduction and bride price ceremony. Both were dressed in coordinated Edo attire. Announcing the news, Peller wrote: "Today, I proudly paid the bride price of the woman I love... She said 'yes' to forever, and now it's time to build our future together. Officially off the market." With the customary rites now complete, attention turns to the wedding itself, the one event this famously unpredictable couple has yet to deliver.
