On Wednesday, May 20, 2026, Anita Akuffo announced her upcoming wedding to Opoku Sanaa, a musician and entrepreneur.
The TV3 presenter released lovely pre-wedding photos of herself and her fiancé, who was initially not identified.
The photos, characteristic of how many Ghanaians announce their impending weddings, showed Akuffo in a lovey-dovey pose with her man.
In some of the first photos shared on Instagram, the couple was dressed in coordinated black outfits that gave a classy evening vibe.
Anita wore a black gown adorned with sparkling bead embellishments around the shoulders and bodice, paired with sleek makeup, visible earrings, and an elegant updo.
The recent University of Media, Arts and Communication (UniMAC) graduate smiled brightly while holding her future husband affectionately under his chin.
The man complemented her look in a tailored black suit over a black shirt, accessorised with stylish eyeglasses and a simple stud earring.
Other photos saw the couple twinning in fitted white outfits, leaning in to kiss her gently on the cheek while holding her close.
Sharing the photos, which have stoked a frenzy on social media, the award-winning presenter referred to the Bible:
"Isaiah 60:22🥺💍❤️," her caption read.

Anita Akuffo fires back at husband's critic
While many Ghanaians congratulated Anita Akuffo and Sanaa Opoku, a netizen, reacting to her wedding announcement post, raised questions about the husband-to-be.
The netizen, with the account @cobo2official, questioned why the TV3 presenter would go in for a man he claimed was a 'bad boy'.
He cautioned Anita against Sanaa, who wore earrings for the couple's pre-wedding photoshoot, claiming that men who wore earrings were 'big red flags'.
He wrote:
"You guys always go for the bad boys...hear me out, Anita. Guys with earrings are big red flags!"

Anita Akuffo reacts to 'red flag' comment
His comment garnered a response from Sanaa's old friend Ed Lamptey, who questioned why the netizen would judge him without personally knowing him.
He also advised the netizen to search for more information about Anita's partner on Google or social media.
"It’s obvious you don’t know the guy she’s getting married to. Google Opoku Sanaa or search IG, you’ll know him. I have known him for 24 years, so before you judge, kindly ask to know the person."
In response to the whole interaction, Anita criticised the netizen for his negative remarks about her husband-to-be.
She also urged Sanaa's friend to ignore the comments.
"They just talk anyhow. Don’t waste your time, bro."
Counsellor on Anita Akuffo's response to man
Speaking to YEN.com.gh in an interview, Ama Nsroma, counsellor and head of Nsroma Consult, discussed how public figures can emotionally handle negative comments about their partners.
She also detailed how couples can avoid allowing public opinions to influence their relationship decisions.
She said:
"Instead of looking to strangers on the internet for approval, public figures might respond to criticism by emphasising how strong their relationship is. Open communication, emotional support, and avoiding letting public opinion cause needless conflict are all crucial for couples."
"Emotional wellbeing can also be safeguarded by prioritising peace of mind, ignoring hurtful comments, and setting appropriate limits on social media."
"Counsellors frequently advise public celebrities to keep in mind that their happiness and relationship decisions shouldn't be determined by criticism from strangers."
