Actress and entrepreneur Temi Otedola, daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, has shared the heartfelt reasons behind her marriage to Afrobeats star Mr Eazi.
In a candid chat with BBC, Temi revealed that beyond fame and fortune, it was the deep bond of friendship that made her certain about saying “yes” to him.
When asked what convinced her to accept Mr Eazi’s proposal, Temi lit up with emotion.
“There’s too many. How will I chose one? I mean, first and foremost, he is my best friend. That’s my person. And I think when you meet your person, you know. I can’t imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone else.
“He is the person I’m excited and can just spend everyday with; build our lives together and walk through our ups and downs together and celebrate together and solve problems together. He’s simply my person. So, we are just excited for what is to come.”
The actress further explained why she chose to take on her husband’s surname after their wedding.
“I’m now a married woman, the obvious thing for me is to take my husband’s name. But it’s my personal choice. I also respect a woman’s ability to choose.”
Temi also touched on how she and Mr Eazi have kept much of their relationship away from the public eye. She believes that privacy is key to protecting their love story.
“Moving in silence allows you to build your own story and share it when you’re ready.”
Mp3bullet recalls that the couple tied the knot a few weeks ago in a dreamy ceremony in Iceland, with John Legend delivering a special performance at the wedding.
For Temi, the decision to spend forever with Mr Eazi seems simple—she married her best friend, her confidant, and, in her own words, “her person.”
