Yemi Solade, a veteran actor, has shared the reasons behind his 21-year marriage’s success.
The actor has been with his spouse, Hannah, since September 2003, when they exchanged vows.
The 64-year-old film producer claimed in an interview with Nollywood Radio that his wife has been the foundation of their union.
He credited Hannah’s help and ability to guide him through life’s ups and downs for a large portion of their success.
“I give it to my wife. She manages me very well. She is been very tolerant; she perseveres a lot. My wife, apart from every other thing, is just a normal person. She is very selfless, she sacrifices more than anybody I know in this world. She is God-sent,” Solade said.
“She understands when I have and when I don’t have. She is not ostentatious. Anything I give to her, she prays for me, and that goes a long way.
“Marriage is more like friendship because it is a life contract”.
The actor further addressed rumours that he demands sexual favours in exchange for movie roles.
Solade denied the allegations, clarifying that as an actor, he has no control over casting. He also praised his wife for her calmness in the face of such rumours.
“Once I show her and say ‘Honey, sorry, something is brewing,’ and then she says ‘just be careful’, that is all. My wife is a very peaceful person; otherwise, we would not be together for 22 years now,” he added.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
