Though
there are many couples in the entertainment industry whose marriages
have worked and have stood the test of time. Some are married to pilot,
presenters, businessmen and women; others chose to be with those that
understand their profession.
Even though many have done everything to keep their marriage going, others have backed out seeing that they were not compatible.
Majority
who have stayed together as movie stars and musicians have attributed
it to friendship and trust while others see it as dedication to each
other.
Olu Jacobs & Joke Silver
One of these
couples is veteran actor and wife Olu Jacobs and Joke Silva. The actor
agreed that though it’s not been always rosy, they disagree to agree on
their differences and that has kept them going.
“Friendship. We
are each other’s very close friend. It’s not as if we don’t have close
friends outside our marriage, but I think we are both each other’s
number one close friend. The other thing is mutual respect, the fact
that we both share the same passion about the area of entertainment that
we are in.
Of course, the various challenges that we’ve faced
over the years, we’ve learnt how to surmount them together. At different
times when it is necessary, we have both learnt to forgive each other. I
guess the sum total of what I’m saying is that God’s grace has been
present in our marriage.” he explained.
As many in the
entertainment industry would want to say that would not want to be in
this list, but we are just taken a look at just few of those who are
both in same industry and are doing very well.
2Baba & Annie Idibia
For
2face Idibia and wife Annie, it was believed that their marriage won’t
last because of the numerous baby mamas the musician has. Since her
appearance in the video for 2face’s monster hit ‘African Queen’, this
couple have been an item in the media. Although the relationship had
been off and on, somehow, these love birds always seem to find their way
back together, culminating in their wedding.
Amidst all the
scandals and controversies, the couple has always affirmed that ‘true
love is what has kept us together all through the years’. They have
shown that you can still be an entertainer and also a husband or wife.
Tunde & Wunmi Obe

The
duo is an epitome of love. They both share a love that sure surpasses
their love for music and they have found soul mates in each other.
Highly revered for their scandal free life, Wunmi always points at
‘communication and respect for each other’s feelings’ as the major
factor responsible for their successful marriage.

marriage to mutual understanding and their determination to make it
