Married
for 11 years, Nollywood actor, Funsho Adeolu-Adegeye and his wife, Victoria talk
about their ...
marriage.
marriage.
How did you meet your wife?
Funsho: I
met her at Zeb Ejiro’s office. Then she worked behind the camera. We started as
friends and here we are today. We have been married for 11 years.
What was the attraction?
Funsho:She
was very simple and original. No make- up, no special hairdo and she wore very
decent clothes. She just looked very African and that was the attraction for
me.
Are you an actress?
Victoria: No,
I am an On-Air-Personality and I am not entirely new to the entertainment
industry.
Was wooing her difficult?
Funsho:
She gave me a slightly tough time because she kept dodging me but
hard as she tried to evade me, God always brought us together one way or the
other. I can’t explain it but we always met and each time she wanted to run
away from me, I was always there to ambush her.
How long did you court?
Funsho: We courted for eight years.
Some people might consider that as a long time but it was a great period in our
lives. It was during this time that we discovered that we had so many things in
common. For instance, she sings and I do same too. We both love to dance and
during our courtship, we were always together. If you saw me and you didn’t see
her, it only meant she was on her way .She had a good knowledge of my job
because she worked with Tunji Bamishigbin.
How did he propose to you?
Victoria:There
wasn’t what you would call a formal proposal
because we already knew where we were headed. He had always called me his wife,
therefore, marriage was more or less a settled issue between us.
What
made you accept him as your husband?
Victoria:I really
can’t tell. My husband is a very nice person. He is also humble and gentle. There
was no way I could have minded getting married to someone in the limelight. At
the time we met, he was not as popular as he is now. Besides, I was in the
industry and I knew a lot. Even then I
knew he was an actor but I was not too conversant with his roles in movies.
Now that he is popular, how do you cope?
Victoria:
When we go out and people say hello to him, it still amazes me. Maybe that is
because I don’t see him as a star, I see him as my husband and father of my
children.
Are there challenges being married to someone in the
limelight?
Victoria:
There are but I think I have been able to overcome them. I don’t allow such
things bother me. Even his female fans don’t bother me because he has managed
that part of his life very well.
