5 Female Celebrity Friendships That Prove Sisterhood Wins
Every August 1st, Girlfriends Day reminds us of the beauty of female friendship; the kind that uplifts, celebrates, and stays strong through every season. These Nigerian celebrity friendships aren’t just adorable to watch; they’re a testament to real love, loyalty, and sisterhood in an industry that often pits women against each other.
Here are 5 female celebrity friendships we absolutely love:
1. Bisola Aiyeola, Adesua Etomi & Bimbo Ademoye
Their friendship bloomed on the set of Sugar Rush, where they played the iconic Sugar Sisters, and clearly, the bond didn’t end when the cameras stopped rolling. From goofy Instagram videos to unwavering support at events and life milestones, these three have continued to grow together in love, in laughter, and in loyalty.
2. Ayra Starr & Tems
Young, bold, and game-changing, Ayra and Tems are redefining what it means to be women in Afrobeats. Their mutual admiration, casual hangouts, and sweet shoutouts show that there’s space for women to thrive side by side. Watching them support each other while slaying global stages is everything.
3. Sharon Ooja & Jemima Osunde
Whether it’s joint vacations, Instagram banter, or heartfelt birthday messages, Sharon and Jemima’s friendship is refreshingly authentic. They’re not just industry colleagues — they’re sisters by choice. From Nollywood to real life, their friendship is soft, supportive, and strong.
4. Tomike Adeoye & Adanna Uche Onome
Over a decade of friendship, and these two are still going strong! Tomike and Adanna’s journey together has spanned university days, faith, weddings, motherhood, content creation, and even a co-owned business. They’re proof that friendship can grow with you, evolve with your seasons, and still remain rooted in genuine love and joy.
5. Genevieve Nnaji, Rita Dominic, Kate Henshaw & Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde
They are not just Nollywood legends, they are pillars of strength and support for each other. While they each shine individually, we’ve seen moments where these icons show deep love and respect for one another, shutting down toxic “rivalry” narratives. They represent grace, growth, and lasting sisterhood in a fast-changing industry.
On this Girlfriends Day, may we be reminded of the power of true friendship, the kind that celebrates you in public and prays for you in private. Just like these amazing women, may we find (and be) the friends that make life sweeter.
