The announcement on her Instagram account is subtle: #MrsDanjuma.
Agbani Asenite Darego has become Mrs. Danjuma, courtesy of her marriage to billionaire Theophilus Danjuma’s first son, Ishaya.
Agbani broke into global consciousness when she became the first native African to win the Miss World beauty pageant in 2001.
Before then, she had won national beauty pageants such as Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria. At the Miss Universe competition, she became the first Nigerian to place among the top 10 semi-finalists, finishing seventh overall.
She was also the only contestant to wear a maillot (one-piece bathing suit) as opposed to a bikini during the swimsuit competition.
She was also known to have negotiated a modelling deal with Donald Trump’s management to establish links with modelling agencies in America.
The former University of Port Harcourt student later enrolled at the New York University where she studied Psychology, graduating in May 2012.
Unconfirmed reports say the wedding was a very private one, with only 35 people in attendance.
It reportedly held at the Amanjena Luxury Resort in Marrakech, Morocco.
The couple are in their 30s.
