Shamari and Ronnie DeVoe said “I do” again in Ghana, renewing their vows as their twin sons stood beside them for the ceremony.
Ronnie posted photos from the moment on Instagram and shared a caption reflecting on the occasion.
“20 years later we said I do again… This time in the Motherland. Through every challenge, God kept us. Celebrating our love while finally making it back ‘home’ made this moment even more powerful. Legacy. Love. Forever,” he wrote.
The Devoes are indeed back “home” as they are now citizens of Ghana.
On March 9, Ronnie and Shamari were part of a group of people who became citizens of Ghana during a ceremony held at the Accra International Conference Centre.
About 150 people took the Oath of Allegiance that day as part of a program welcoming people of African descent from around the world who want to reconnect with the country through citizenship.

Ronnie, a member of New Edition and Bell Biv DeVoe, married singer Shamari Fears on March 10, 2006. In 2017, they welcomed twin sons, Ronald III and Roman Elijah.
The DeVoes often share their travels with fans. Before visiting Ghana, the family posted photos from a trip to Beijing, China.
“In the heart of Beijing, surrounded by ancient empires, we stood where emperors once walked, not just dressed in history, but wrapped in legacy,” the couple wrote.
“We are Black excellence draped in Qing Dynasty silk, proving that wherever we go, our lineage walks with us,” they added.
The New Edition icon and the former Blaque singer called the trip “a moment for our sons to see themselves as royalty and a reminder that our roots run deeper than borders.”
