Why I Married This Igbo Lady ––Tinsel Actor Gbenga

Tinsel star, Gbenga Anaimashaun dazzled with his heartthrob, Chinelo Aningwu, as they walked down the aisle at St. Leo’s Catholic Church, Ikeja, Lagos, last Saturday. Both faces brimmed with undying joy as they exchanged marital vows.

The elated Osun State-born actor disclosed to The Entertainer why he chose to tie the nuptial knot with an Igbo lady and not one of the many Yoruba ladies around him:

“Once you are in love, you become blind to where he or she is coming from. I am glad I have been joined to my wife today in holy matrimony. My joy knows no bounds.”

He described their marriage as the true definition of what love is all about.

How did their paths cross and what attracted him to her?
Joyous Gbenga, shortly after signing the dotted lines narrated thus: “We met about a year ago at the gym centre where I went to lose some pounds. We started as friends. Within the periods of our friendship, I discovered that she has the qualities I desire in a woman. Apart from her striking beauty, she is kindhearted and very positive in her thinking.”

Describing her hubby as the most wonderful man she has ever come across, Chinelo corroborated that the love she has for her husband is so deep that ethnicity could not have been a barrier: “We love ourselves so much that nothing could have stopped us from exchanging marital vows. He is loving, caring, and very understanding; what else could a lady ask for?”

However, Gbenga also revealed reasons why he wouldn’t settle for an actress as a wife despite working with and meeting so many beautiful actresses:

“Basically, it is not good to have a relationship with someone you are in the same profession with. It is not advisable. Whenever I am on location doing my job as an actor, I take my acting profession seriously; I don’t really look at girls in the industry."
