Shamari and Ronnie DeVoe recently renewed their wedding vows in Ghana, with their twin sons by their side, marking a significant moment in their journey together.
Ronnie took to Instagram to share photos from the heartfelt ceremony, accompanied by a caption that captured the essence of the day.
“Twenty years later, we said ‘I do’ once more… This time in the Motherland. Despite every challenge, God has kept us. Celebrating our love while finally returning ‘home’ made this moment even more profound. Legacy. Love. Forever,” he expressed.
Indeed, the DeVoes have truly returned “home,” as they are now officially citizens of Ghana.
On March 9, Ronnie and Shamari joined a group of individuals who were granted Ghanaian citizenship during a ceremony 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.”
