American rapper Kid Cudi and longtime partner Lola Abecassis Sartore are officially husband and wife. On July 11, the rapper, born Scott Mescudi, shared that the couple tied the knot on June 28 during a private ceremony in the South of France.

He wrote on an Instagram post featuring wedding photos:

“Man, I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life. A truly special day with amazing [friends] and loving family.”

Cudi continued writing a message for his wife:

“I love this woman so so much, and I know she loves me in the same way. It’s always a battle sayin ‘I love you more’ because she always wins that battle haha. My best friend. My ride or die.”

The wedding photographs featured Kid Cudi and Lola Abecassis Sartore kissing, cutting into a strawberry-covered cake, and posing with Cudi’s mother, Elsie Mescudi.

“Here’s to starting a new chapter. To my baby Lola, we are in for a wonderfully fantastic journey together. Next we need this baby … not joking.”

Kid Cudi and Lola Abecassis met in 2018 at a Virgil Abloh fashion show. Sartore, a former Louis Vuitton designer and now the head designer at ERL, wore a gown by close friend Alain Paul, who also served as her bridesman, during the ceremony.

The wedding was held at Cap Estel in Èze, near Sartore’s childhood home. She told Vogue:

“It was bliss. A moment out of time where the world stopped, and it was just the two of us. We forgot everything around us. It was just us and our love, and it was the purest moment.”

Meanwhile, the marriage news follows a more turbulent moment in Kid Cudi’s life, having recently testified during Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial.

On the stand, he alleged that the disgraced mogul broke into his Los Angeles home and vandalized his car in response to Cudi’s past connection with singer Cassie Ventura.

Despite the high-profile trial, Cudi seems to be currently focusing forward. Along with celebrating his wedding, the artist is preparing to release his next album, Free, due out August 22. The project has already debuted two singles: “Grave” and “Neverland.”
