Nollywood pair Lateef Adedimeji and Mo Bimpe recently engaged in a revealing interview conducted by fellow actors Stan Nze and Jessica Obasi. Lateef recounted his initial encounter with his wife, expressing that it wasn’t a pleasant one due to her initial lack of acknowledgment.
Mo Bimpe shared that her parents were initially opposed to her, a lifelong Christian, marrying a Muslim.
The beloved Nollywood couple, known for their joyous dynamic, opened up about their journey on The Other Corner, hosted by Jessica Obasi and Stan Nze.
The initial meeting between Lateef Adedimeji and his wife, Mo Bimpe, wasn’t entirely smooth. When Lateef arrived at a location and received greetings from people, Mo Bimpe, the actress, remained standing without acknowledging him.
Lateef had to take the initiative to ask her if she hadn’t seen him before she finally greeted him. Their paths crossed again when Mo Bimpe wanted Lateef to be part of a movie she was working on. Lateef playfully teased her, referring to her as “the girl who wouldn’t greet him.“
Mo Bimpe and Lateef Adedimeji’s journey to marriage was marked by challenges. Mo Bimpe, brought up in a devout Christian household, faced resistance from her parents due to their differing faiths when she expressed her desire to marry Lateef. Despite her reservations during their dating period, they chose to stand by each other.
Lateef’s determination was unwavering. In the face of rejection from Mo Bimpe’s parents, he persisted and even personally visited them. Recognizing the importance of their beliefs, Lateef ensured that their wedding celebrations embraced both Muslim and Christian traditions, respecting and honoring his wife’s family’s Christian values.
