Congratulations are in order for Kid Cudi and Lola Abecassis Sartore, who announced Friday (July 11) that they are now a married couple.
Revealing that they tied the knot during a romantic ceremony in the South of France on June 28, the rapper born Scott Mescudi shared photos on Instagram and wrote, “Man, I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life.”
“A truly special day with amazing [friends] and loving family,” he continued. “I love this woman so so much, and I know she loves me in the same way. Its always a battle sayin ‘I love you more’ because she always wins that battle haha. My best friend. My ride or die.”
In the snaps, Cudi kisses his new wife, poses with mom Elsie Mescudi and cuts into a massive, strawberry-covered cake alongside Sartore. “Here’s to starting a new chapter,” he added in his caption. “To my baby Lola, we are in for a wonderfully fantastic journey together. Next we need this baby … not joking.”
The musician first met the former Louis Vuitton designer — who now serves as head designer at ERL — at a Virgil Abloh fashion show in 2018. After years of dating, Cudi proposed in 2023.
According to Vogue, the couple’s ceremony took place at Cap Estel in Èze, near where Sartore grew up. The bride wore a gown designed by her close friend, Alain Paul, who also served as her “bridesman” in the wedding.
“It was bliss,” Sartore told the publication of the big day. “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.”
Cudi’s big life update comes just weeks after he made headlines for a much less cheerful reason: Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial, at which the Trap star testified. While on the stand, he alleged that the disgraced Bad Boy Records founder broke into his Los Angeles home and vandalized his car out of anger over Cudi’s past relationship with Cassie Ventura.
Combs was ultimately found not guilty of sex-trafficking and racketeering charges, though he will face prison time for a prostitution charge. The mogul has long denied all of the accusations levied against him during the trial.
In happier news, Cudi is also gearing up to release his next album, Free, on Aug. 22. So far, he’s released two singles from the project: “Grave” and “Neverland.”
