Encomium
While there is no doubting the fact that many of our female entertainers in movie and music had to settle for fairly used husbands, it is pertinent to note that many more were able to walk down the aisle with chacha, tear rubber (brand new) husbands.
ENCOMIUM Weekly takes you through a rundown of some of them.
OMOTOLA JALADE-EKEINDE
Topping the list of female celebs married to brand new husbands are screen diva, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, fondly called Omosexy.
On March 23 this year, Omotola and husband, Matthew Ekeinde marked their 18th wedding anniversary. Theirs is a model union, a marriage that rubbishes the argument that celebrities cannot have successful and happy homes. Her early marriage to her pilot husband, who is 10 years older than her made her the envy of her peers-and 18 years on, the sexiest screen goddess, remains just that.
MUMA GEE
It was a royal affair when music star, Muma Gee and her tear rubber prince charming, Nollywood actor, Prince Oluebube Eke exchanged vows in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. The couple reportedly met around 2010 after Muma Gee’s participation in a reality show through Emeka Ike, a friend of Prince Eke.
The couple, however, had to wait till this year before they welcomed their first fruit of the womb, which came in double proportion as Muma Gee delivered a healthy pair of twins on Friday, April 18, 2014.
OGE OKOYE
The sultry actress is another one who got a tear rubber husband and is proud to have maintained the marriage for years. Though rumours have been rife, with some bloggers claiming the marriage is suffering some setbacks, the fact remains that the pretty Oge Okoye got herself a tear rubber hubby when she hooked her beau, Stanley Duru.
Their marriage is blessed with two children, a boy and a girl.
OMONI OBOLI
Later this year, multiple award-winning actress, Omoni Oboli and her husband, Nnamdi Oboli, will celebrate 14 years of marriage. This in itself is a dream or a fantasy even for some other actresses. The pair’s love story is almost unbelievable as Omoni revealed that Nnamdi proposed to her after only two weeks of dating.
The rest is history as it has turned out to be a match made in heaven. The couple have three sons together.
EGO OGBARO
2009 was the year talented singer who enjoyed limelight singing alongside the masked one, Lagbaja back in the days married her long-term lover, Niyi Ogbaro. It is no secret that they’ve been together long before they sealed their matrimony in Lagos. She is still together with her brand new husband.
DAKORE EGBUSON
After dating for four years, Nollywood star, Dakore finally tied the knot with first son of billionaire businessman, Olumide Akande. She got her man, who thousands of ladies dream of brand new, and the couple have been going strong ever since.
CHIOMA CHUKWUKA AKPOTHA
This talented actress is another one who has, against all expectations, been able to sustain her marriage to her brand new hubby. The screen diva has not only kept her marriage and private life clean and scandal free, she is happy to keep her family away from public glare.
