Rita Dominic Gushes Over Husband Fidelis Anosike After Spectacular 50th Birthday Bash: “You Threw Me the Best Party!”

Veteran Nollywood actress Rita Dominic has set the internet ablaze with her heartfelt tribute to her husband, Fidelis Anosike, following the grand celebration of her 50th birthday. The iconic screen queen, known for her elegance, poise, and trailblazing roles in Nigerian cinema, took to Instagram to share her overwhelming gratitude and admiration for the man behind what many are calling the party of the year.

In a post that quickly went viral, Rita Dominic poured out her love and appreciation for Fidelis Anosike, the media mogul and publisher of Daily Times, who orchestrated a lavish surprise that left guests, fans, and even the celebrant herself speechless. The actress wrote, “My baby… You threw me the best party… a party that has left most of us still recovering! Romantic! Thanks booboo,” tagging her husband in the post and capping it off with an array of heart emojis that sent fans into a frenzy.

The golden jubilee celebration, which was held in Lagos, was nothing short of a fairy tale. From the moment guests walked into the venue, it was clear that this was no ordinary event. The atmosphere radiated glamour, love, and elegance — much like Rita herself. The venue was transformed into a magical wonderland, decked out in gold, white, and soft blush hues that matched the celebrant’s radiant energy. A string quartet welcomed guests as they sipped champagne and mingled with Nollywood royalty, business tycoons, and political elites who had come from all corners of the world to celebrate the timeless beauty and legend that is Rita Dominic.

The birthday girl made her grand entrance in a dazzling floor-length gown that shimmered under the chandelier lights, custom-designed to hug every curve and glimmer with each step she took. She was escorted by Fidelis, who looked dashing in a tailored tuxedo, the two of them radiating love, grace, and a kind of old-Hollywood charm that captivated every soul in the room. Their entrance was met with thunderous applause, teary-eyed admiration, and camera flashes that captured the magic of the moment.

As the evening unfolded, the surprises just kept coming. From a moving montage of Rita’s most iconic roles to heartfelt video messages from colleagues, fans, and international film stars, it was clear that this was not just a birthday celebration — it was a tribute to a legend. The crowd was especially touched by a video from British-Ghanaian actor Idris Elba, who described Rita as “a gem of African cinema whose light has inspired generations.” The crowd erupted in cheers, with many visibly moved by the global recognition she continues to receive.

Adding to the glamour was a show-stopping performance by Afrobeat star Chike, who serenaded the couple with a soulful rendition of “Running (To You),” followed by a surprise appearance by Tiwa Savage, who got the crowd on their feet with her electrifying energy. Rita was seen dancing with abandon, laughing and twirling, surrounded by friends and family who cheered her on, celebrating a woman whose grace, talent, and resilience have left an indelible mark on Nigerian entertainment.

Yet, the most unforgettable part of the evening came during Fidelis’s speech. With a voice thick with emotion, he recounted the journey of their love story, their trials, their triumphs, and how much Rita had transformed his world. “This woman,” he began, his voice cracking, “is not just the love of my life — she is my compass, my heartbeat, and the reason I strive to be better every day.” The audience, deeply moved, rose to their feet in a standing ovation that seemed to go on forever. Some guests were seen wiping tears, overwhelmed by the love so visibly shared between the two.

In a world often dominated by fleeting moments and superficial displays, what Fidelis Anosike did for his wife was a rare, genuine expression of love that resonated beyond the glitz and glamour. It was not just about luxury or celebrity appearances — it was about celebrating a woman who has given her heart to her craft, her family, and her fans for over two decades. And more importantly, it was about a man who knew exactly what it meant to honour and cherish that woman.

Social media has since erupted with admiration, with hashtags like #RitaAt50, #FidelisAndRita, and #PartyOfTheYear trending across platforms. Fans and colleagues alike have flooded the comment sections with love, calling the party “goals,” “divine,” and “a celebration fit for African royalty.” Celebrities including Kate Henshaw, Funke Akindele, Ini Edo, and Richard Mofe-Damijo shared glowing tributes to Rita, hailing her as a pillar in the industry and a timeless beauty.

Rita Dominic’s journey has been one of grace under pressure, talent refined through time, and a legacy built not just on beauty or fame, but on depth, dignity, and consistency. Her marriage to Fidelis Anosike, which was celebrated in a grand traditional ceremony in 2022, has been the stuff of fairy tales, and this latest gesture by Fidelis only reinforces that image. For many young couples, the birthday celebration served as a reminder of what genuine partnership looks like — one rooted in love, respect, and intentional celebration of each other’s lives.

As the night came to a close and guests departed with smiles and stories, one thing was clear — Rita Dominic’s 50th birthday wasn’t just a party, it was a moment in history. A celebration of life, love, and legacy. And at the heart of it was a woman who has lived with purpose and a man who knew just how to show the world what she means to him.
