About Dammy & Laura
From TikTok to True Love:
This is our story
Hi! We’re Dammy & Laura.
We’re the couple who took an unexpected chance on long-distance love, and are now married with children, living together in the UK.
Our story began during the 2020 lockdown, when we first connected on TikTok. Despite being in different countries, our bond grew quickly. By May 2021, Laura flew from the UK to meet Dammy in Ivory Coast, and during that visit, he proposed, marking the start of our international love story.
The journey to being together wasn’t easy. We navigated a complicated fiancé visa process (you remember the Ukraine war, right?), a pregnancy apart, and countless personal challenges. Finally, in July 2022, we were reunited in the UK.
Along the way, we’ve documented our story and been fortunate to build a supportive community, especially from Nigeria and the UK, as well as friends across the USA and Europe.
Today, we live as a blended, multicultural family with our four children. Our journey since arriving in the UK has been a rollercoaster, from health struggles and unexpected house moves, to the heartbreaking loss of our baby Ocean at 33 weeks, followed by the premature birth of Irisa, and the loss of close family members. These experiences have tested our relationship in ways we never imagined, but we’ve faced them together, and grown stronger through it all.
Our mission now is to inspire others in long-distance relationships, to make people smile and laugh, and to share both our highs and lows so no one feels alone. We hope to continue growing our community and giving back in meaningful ways.
We’d love for you to join us, share your story, and get to know us—just as we remember all our OG followers who have been with us from the very start.
