How did you meet your wife?
I met my wife on set. We are both actors so we met at an audition.
What year was that?
In September 2018 to be precise and we got married in September, the next year.
How has the marital journey been?
I will say it has been beautiful, amazing and challenging. We have a son. I have an understanding partner and we get to share and do many things together. Before our son came, we went out to chill and travel for vacations a lot. We are also both growing in our careers and everything. Besides, my stomach has grown big. It is now one super park. We talk about everything.
What were your fears before marriage?
Marrying someone who would not understand me, especially because of the nature of my job and being no longer attracted to the person I am married to or being irresponsible were some of my fears.
How did you conquer the fears?
A lot of it happened in my mind but I kept on working on my mind. I kept on working on those things and it helped.
Is your wife a fan of your comedy?
Oh, yes, she is my number one fan. I crack jokes a lot with my family. I send my materials for her to access, and I ask her to scrutinise my materials. She writes most of my comedy skits and storylines.
What do you like most about your wife?
Her personality; she has an amazing personality and she is beautiful.
If you can change one thing about your wife, what will it be?
Her nationality (Laughs).
How can couples manage differences in marriage?
One of the ways I think is profound in solving differences in marriage is communication. When you have issues; that is the time to talk and not go silent over situations because it would compound other existing problems. You should talk about the pains and disappointments. Another thing would be to always react from a place of love and not with hatred. That issue is going to pass and when you remember what you did, you might feel bad or regret it.
Has marriage affected your career in any way?
It has but positively. It makes my friends think I am responsible. It has helped me to manage finances better. It has helped me do things differently in my career.
What’s your advice to intending couples?
They should be intentional about who they want to marry. They must not marry because they are just attracted to someone. Marry someone you know you can spend the rest of your life with. One of the things I tell whoever cares to listen is that they owe their children one thing, to give them the best father or mother. Marry someone you know can comfortably raise your children the way you want them. Your spouse has a lot of influence on who your children will become, so do them a favour and give them a good father or mother.
