When a couple consists of two entertainers, it makes it easy for fans to relate with them. They each have their fans, but there are also people who have strong opinions about their relationship and marriage. Art becomes a family matter when Nollywood movie stars marry each other.
Joke Silva and Olu Jacobs
Joke Silva never took her husband’s family name, so it is hard to address them as ‘the Jacobs’. However, they are still a well established Nollywood movie star couple. The two met in the ’80s during a movie production and got married years later. They are both very popular and are one of the oldest Nollywood couples – given how long their marriage has lasted. They have survived the heat waves of the industry together as Nollywood movie stars.
The Idibias
Annie and Tuface Idibia have always given Nigerians nothing but love. They have been together ever since we started hearing the name Tuface. They had an exceptional on and off relationship for a long time before they finally got married. But this amazing couple endured and conquered all the celebrity scandals and seem happy today.
From sharing inspirational quotes that encourage young people to helping others through charity, they always make a good team – something their fans always appreciate.
The Bellos
Funke Akindele’s marriage to JJC Skillz is the result of divinations that they both experienced. Even those who don’t believe in divination have come to love this couple. They are both great entertainers – and when entertainment becomes a family thing, more creativity is unleashed.
The Wellingtons
Adesua and Banky W met during a movie production and got married in 2017. They are addressed as ‘the Wellingtons’, though she still prefers her maiden name (Etomi) in some cases.
Adesua is Nigeria’s beloved and Banky was once the king of RnB in the Nigerian music space. He began appearing in movies some years back like in ‘The Wedding Party‘ which drew more fans to this amazing couple.
