Selina Boateng's wedding and marriage

The ceremonies were attended by family, friends, and numerous colleagues from Ghana's gospel music fraternity, marking what many considered a union blessed within the Christian community.

At the time of their wedding, Selina Boateng was already a recognised name in Ghana's gospel music scene. The musician had won the 2012 VGMA Gospel Song of the Year award and secured four awards at the Ghana Gospel Industry Awards (GGIA). Her popular songs, including Medofo Pa, Menku Meho, Alpha and Omega, and 'Wobeye Nhyira', had already touched the hearts of many Ghanaians.
Following their wedding, the 2012 VGMA Gospel Song Of The Year winner and her husband welcomed their first child almost three years later. She announced the birth of their child, a baby boy, in March 2022, with beautiful baby bump photos.
"He is the #AlphaandOmega, the beginning and the end. He will accomplish it. Hallelujah! Blessed be the name of Jehovah Elohim. See what the Lord has done... What we've been praying for has come to pass😍 It's a boy🙏🙏🙏🙏," she said at the time.

Since the announcement of their child's birth, Selina Boateng has been silent about her marriage until her interview with Nana Romeo.
"I am very single and ready try again but I don't know whether I will go for a pastor or not. I will leave that up to God," she said.
She emphasised that she felt no shame about her divorce and had not experienced any form of social stigma since the separation.
While she chose to keep the specific reasons behind the breakdown of her marriage, she used the platform to offer guidance to young people contemplating marriage.
Drawing from her personal experience, Selina Boateng urged young people preparing for marriage to invest adequate time in understanding their potential partners before making such a significant commitment. She specifically warned against allowing external pressures or influences to dictate their choice of a life partner.
"That era is over," she emphasised, referring to the practice of allowing others to influence one's choice of spouse, suggesting that individuals should take personal responsibility for their relationship decisions.

Selina Boateng shares regrets about marriage
Earlier, in June 2025, Selina Boateng had already begun sharing candid reflections about marriage, stating that she would make different choices if given a second chance.
As previously reported by YEN.com.gh, Boateng, during an interview, explained how marriage has fundamentally altered her understanding of the institution.
"Marriage has opened my eyes in so many ways. If I had the chance to go back and make changes or amend certain decisions, I honestly would—because until you're inside the walls of marriage, you'll never truly understand what it is," she said.
