Due to similar experiences and a shared awareness of the rigors of fame, Nollywood celebrities getting married to one another might be considered as a natural occurrence within the industry.
Additionally, it can attract media coverage and raise their visibility in the public. It also prompts questions regarding the likelihood of drama and its effects on their daily life. Following are some Nollywood celebrities who got married after meeting in the business:
While collaborating on the critically acclaimed African soap opera Tinsel, Florence and Iyke Okechukwu, two important players in the Nigerian film business, met and fell in love.
They played the adored characters Ene and Chuks, respectively, in the program. Iyke Okechukwu, a well-known Nigerian actor, won acclaim for his superb portrayal as Chuks Obi in Tinsel.
He first featured in an episode of the children’s show “Fun Time” in 2002, and then in “Wetin Dey” in 2007.
His standing as a skilled actor was further cemented by this. They have been blessed with the delight of raising two children throughout their eight years of chaste marriage.
Mide Martins, a well-known Nollywood actress and the late Funmi Martins’ daughter, is happily wed to Afeez Abiodun Owo, a performer in the same field.
Mide Funmi Martins claimed in a recent interview that she was attracted to Afeez Abiodun, popularly known as Afeez Owo, her mother’s previous manager, because of his outstanding qualities.
The mother of two claimed that although Afeez Owo wasn’t wealthy or particularly attractive at the time of their marriage, she chose him because of his great traits rather than because of either of those factors.
She said, in her own words, “He proved himself to be reliable, attentive, affectionate, and having a kind heart. His laid-back attitude was another thing that really appealed to me. I chose to accept him into my life after taking all of these things into account.
The pair has just celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary on September 8th, 2021. They are the proud parents of Omotola and Anuoluwapo Abiodun, two lovely daughters. After a brief separation, the pair got back together and made up in April 2016.
Linda Ejiofor, a model and actress from Nigeria, co-starred in the well-liked MNet television serial Tinsel with her devoted partner, Ibrahim Suleiman. On November 11, 2018, the pair exchanged vows in a stunning wedding that made everyone jealous.
On the set of Tinsel, where they played a loving couple, their romance flourished. Before pursuing a romantic engagement, Linda Ejiofor previously told the public that she and Ibrahim were friends for a while.
She claimed that they started dating after becoming closer on the TV program set.
In contrast to his wife Yewande Adekoya Abiodun, who is an artist, filmmaker, and creative content producer, Abiodun Ishola Thomas is a multifaceted performer who wears several hats as an actor, film producer, brand advocate, and director.
Yewande was born in Lagos State on January 20, 1984, and she is from Ososa-Ijebu in Ogun State. After exchanging vows in 2013, the couple has been blessed with two gorgeous children.
They are a delightful and endearing couple who are well-known for their warm friendship and humorous Instagram postings. Yewande Adekoya and Abiodun Thomas will celebrate their 11th anniversary of dating and 8th year of marriage on February 14, 2021.
Yewande may proudly state that she got married to actor Abiodun Thomas, who is her closest confidant and companion. They have successfully raised their family together for eight exemplary years, and they are still going strong.
