How they married at the age of 18 and 22 respectively. The husband espouses on their love story in an interview recently. He said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know, I believe our getting married is God\u2019s doing. I say this because I think it really takes one who is understanding to be able to get married to someone like Omotola. For me, yes, sometimes, the pressure gets to me, especially when she\u2019s in demand by a lot of people for different reasons. Personally, for me, it\u2019s not a big deal, I just see it as part of life and I advice her the best way I can.<\/p>\n<p>And thankfully, she\u2019s a very focused person who\u2019s always determined to achieve whatever she wants to achieve without getting distracted by people, either by money or whatever, and money has never been the issue. So, people of wealth and status offering her money for one reason or the other has never made her lose her focus in life. Yes, definitely, the pressures are there, pressures of fans, pressures of the fact that we can\u2019t really go out and do what we want to do like regular families. Anytime we step out of our gates, it\u2019s all eyes on us. And that\u2019s why we really cannot go out in public that much. For instance, we can\u2019t go watch the movies like everyone else. To go watch a movie, we have to call the owners or the managers of the movie house. We usually go to Silver bird because we\u2019re used to Guy Bruce, so we\u2019ll call and they\u2019ll arrange a back door for us and put security there for us. So, sometimes it\u2019s stressful, but I\u2019ve gotten used to it, on the 23rd of this month (March) we\u2019re going to mark our 22nd wedding anniversary and I\u2019ll be turning 50 years old that same day.&#8221; You know, after the Omotola4point0 celebrations, I think we\u2019ve done enough celebration for the next 10 years because I know what it really took out of us. It was physically draining and financially as well. Thank God for all her sponsors who came to support her brand. For me, I\u2019m not one that wants to be out there in the public, mine is going to be very quiet. I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m going to do yet, I\u2019ll probably be on duty that day. But most likely I\u2019ll ask to take the day off, just sit down with her, we might travel out, I don\u2019t know yet. Really, I\u2019ve not made any plans.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matthew Ekehinde gushes over wife, Omotola The love tale between Omotola and her husband captain Matthew Ekehinde is quite known to people.
