Spyro’s name is used to dominating playlists, but now, it is trending for something else entirely, and that is love. The Nigerian singer, known for his breakout hit Who Is Your Guy, has found himself back in the headlines, and this time it’s not for his music but for a picture that got everyone talking. It was one single photo, a soft moment captured between Spyro and his fiancée, Janet Atom, in a close, affectionate moment. They are seen leaning toward each other and sharing a kiss while he still holds a microphone.
For a man who has often branded himself as a “Jesus Boy”, the image surprised many of his fans and followers, sparking conversations across social media.
But long before that photo set tongues wagging, there was a story of faith, timing, fame, and the quiet kind of love that blooms when no one is watching.
The Artist Who Prayed Before He Blew
Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, better known as Spyro, did not find fame overnight. His journey into music started years before Who Is Your Guy became a national anthem in 2022. The song, which later gained even more popularity after a remix with Tiwa Savage, was not just catchy. It carried warmth and gratitude, which are qualities that Spyro often associates with his faith.
Before the fame, he struggled. In several interviews, he has talked about moments of almost giving up, moments of questioning whether music was truly his path. Yet, when success finally came, Spyro positioned himself as a man who owed it all to God. Despite being a secular musician, he referred to himself openly as a Jesus Boy and spoke often about purpose, faith, and the importance of doing things the right way.
So when that now-viral photo appeared, from the kiss, closeness and soft affection, people didn’t just see a romantic gesture. They saw a conversation between belief and expression.
Meeting Janet: The Night Everything Changed
Spyro’s love story with Janet Atom began in one of the most unexpected places. The singer revealed they met at a Lagos nightclub in March 30, 2024. According to him, he wasn’t there for pleasure. He was working. She, too, was working that night. Her name is Janet Atom, a professional makeup artist and entrepreneur who runs her own beauty brand.
In Spyro’s words, it wasn’t just a meeting. It was a divine appointment. He described the experience as “magical”, saying he felt something stir in him that night, something beyond the ordinary spark. He would later admit that he met her at 2:48 a.m. and that something about the moment felt spiritually aligned.
When Spyro first shared their story publicly, he connected it back to a song he had written nine years earlier titled Wife Material. He said that the lyrics he wrote back then, without knowing who they were for, now seemed to describe Janet perfectly.
When He Popped the Question
By September 2025, the relationship had become public enough for fans to notice a big announcement on his social media pages. Spyro had proposed, and she said yes.
He posted a series of engagement photos showing both of them smiling, radiant, and in love. In his caption, he thanked God for bringing Janet into his life, calling her the answer to his prayers. He spoke of how she brought him peace, focus, and joy.
That post quickly made rounds online, especially because Spyro had kept his private life away from the spotlight for so long. Suddenly, fans were invested not just in the artist but in the man behind the music, the same person who seemed to have found love and was not shy to share it.
The Kiss That Divided Fans
The photo in question appeared a few weeks after the engagement announcement. Spyro and Janet were seen sharing a kiss during what seemed like a stage performance. The image spread quickly, first on Instagram, then on X (formerly Twitter).
Some fans loved it. They flooded his comment section with heart emojis, congratulatory messages, and playful remarks about how beautiful they looked together. Others weren’t so impressed. They reminded him of his “Jesus Boy” persona and questioned why someone who spoke so often about purity and faith would publicly display affection before marriage. They didn’t mince words as to how while it is cool to share a kiss, they didn’t expect it from him in particular, due to his belief.
Balancing Faith and Fame
Not to answer for Spyro, however the artiste has once said being open about love doesn’t mean compromising one’s beliefs. In past interviews, he has often said that Christianity doesn’t erase one’s humanity. What matters, he insists, is doing everything with intention and truth.
Fans who have followed his journey from Who Is Your Guy to his newer releases like Billing and No Gree For Anybody know that he’s always used his platform to merge positivity with music. His faith is visible, but so is his authenticity. And perhaps that is what this relationship represents, that he is just a man finding balance between his spirituality, his career, and his heart.
Janet Atom: The Woman Beside the Musician
While Spyro’s fame naturally attracts attention, not much is known about Janet, as she has quietly built her own world. Beyond her beauty business, she has also been described by friends as a calm, grounded person who prefers privacy to drama. Her social media shows glimpses of outings, makeup sessions via her business page, and now her relationship with Spyro.
Conclusion
Spyro’s engagement marks a new chapter. It’s a phase where love, fame, and faith meet, often awkwardly, but honestly. The viral kiss may have sparked debates, but it also reminded people that celebrities are still human beings navigating the same emotions everyone else does.
The truth is, fans expect more than just music from their favorite stars now. They want to see their hearts, their values, and their imperfections. Spyro’s openness, even when it attracts judgment, might just be what keeps him relatable in a world where authenticity is rare.
As for Spyro and Janet, their love story seems to be moving with quiet certainty. The photo might have set tongues wagging, but for them, it looked like just another moment of joy between two people who found each other against the odds, choosing to love loudly, even when the world watches.
