Celebrity Couples Holding The Love Fort

February 11,2020
Share:

It is not unusual for celebrity marriages to crash. In fact, these days, it’s almost expected. But despite the downfall of many, a few notable Nigerian celebrity marriages have been able to  stand the test of time, and they continue to live exemplary lives for the younger generations to emulate.

As we approach the much- anticipated Valentine’s Day, Allure Vanguard shares the inspiring love story of these 10 celebrity  couples, who in the midst of all marital tribulations held their love forte.

Joke silva and olu jacobs

Olu and Joke Jacobs

The union of veteran actors, Olu Jacobs and Joke Silva, is a shining  celebrity marriage with an exemplary love life. Having recently celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary, and three kids, the couple have earned their bragging rights. In a recent interview, Joke shared some lessons marriage has taught her. “The journey has been incredible and extremely interesting. It has also been one of learning. When my storms came, it was also a learning curve for both sides (my husband and I), we both had to learn to forgive each other.

I learnt that marriage is not a destination; it’s a continuous journey, and somehow, it seems like the enemy knows that, so he says, “So, you weathered this storm, let me throw another one, let me see whether you will weather this one,” she said.

Jay Okocha and wife

Jay Jay and Nkechi Okocha

Former Super Eagles captain, Augustine Azuka “Jay Jay” Okocha and his beautiful wife, Nkechi have been married for 22 years.

Richard Mofe-Damijo, who is fondly  called RMD after his initials, is not only a talented actor, but also, a happy family man.

It’s been a smooth sail for the couple and they are blessed with four children. With an older son from his previous relationship, that makes   Richard Mofe-Damijo a happy father of five.

Speaking on what begets happy marriage,  RMD says, partners should endeavor to listen to each other and be open with themselves.
