Nollywood actress, Ekene Umenwa, has revealed her marriage with her husband, Ifeanyi Ogbodo Alex, was due to a business that brought them together.
Umenwa and the movie producer, Alex, tied the knot in November 2023 and recently welcomed their first child.
In a recent interview, Umenwa revealed they met through business several years ago.
According to the thespian, their business partnership blossomed into a friendship, and they eventually fell in love.
Umenwa also attributed her private lifestyle to the decision to keep their relationship private until marriage.
She said, “I met my husband years back, I cannot be specific because I am not good with time and calculations, but my husband is good with it. So I think it is more than five years ago that I met him and it was business that brought us together.
“Because he is into the kind of business that I do. As business brought us together, from business to friendship and the guy had started falling for me and I later fell for him.
“Well if you know me, you will know that I am a private person and if not that I decided to do this marriage to the glory of God, I would not even post about it.
“I decided to keep it from social media because I think I was not so ready to post it. I needed to be sure about it. I wanted both of us to pray about it because it is not easy.
“Many people come on social media and start putting their marriage out there but there are who do not like you, a lot of forces out there that might come.”
