Mercy Aigbe and Adeoti

Mercy Aigbe’s husband, Kazim Adeoti, may not be a regular in front of the camera, but he plays a crucial role behind the scenes. He actively supports Mercy’s film projects and other ventures, often sharing promotional content on his social media pages.

For actor, Lateef Adedimeji and his wife, Adebimpe, affectionately known as Mo Bimpe, their collaborative spirit showcases a deep connection in both their personal and professional lives. Speaking on their co-produced film, ‘Lisabi: The Uprising’, Mo shared on the red carpet, “We developed the script together. I was involved from the very beginning. I am the producer while my husband is the executive producer.”

Celebrating his wife in 2023, Adedimeji urged fans to thank her for her support, stating, “Wifey @mo_bimpe is my number 1 critic and my number 1 fan. Her support and confidence in my abilities keep me going. I work hard for you baby; for us. Thank you for always believing in me, for always helping me get better, for being my peace.

Adekunle Kosoko, popularly known as Adekunle Gold, and his wife Simi, are another power couple who prioritise mutual support. Adekunle has often expressed his belief in Simi’s talents. During an interview with Saturday Beats at her ‘Lost and Found’ album launch in July 2024, he remarked, “Working with her is always a good vibe. I’m favoured to be able to have input in Simi’s project. She is an amazing writer and the best one at that.

“Seeing the hardwork she put in come to life and watching everybody vibing to it is the best feeling in the world especially seeing how hard she has worked on this album.”

The same goes for Simi. In an interview that made the rounds in July, Simi had stated that she doesn’t listen to other people’s songs but listens to Gold’s music, because they are married.

Banky W and Adesua

Singer cum politician, Bankole Wellington, aka Banky W, celebrates his wife and actress, Adesua Etomi, at every given opportunity. He has likened her presence in his life to winning the lottery. Beyond their careers, their bond has weathered many storms, proving resilient through thick and thin.

This year, when the singer went through his fourth cancer surgery, his wife held his hands through the journey.

“Grateful for my wife, family, friends and pastors for their love, prayers and support,” he had written to appreciate her.

He also recently took to his Instagram page to show how he supports his wife. Posting a video of him cooking and cleaning the house, he had said, “In this season, l have been a chef, housekeeper, nanny, homework teacher, masseuse, and more, all as part of my duty as a supportive husband and present father of two,” he stated.

Recall that recently, Adesua relocated with her husband to the United States of America to pursue a master’s degree in Policy Management at Georgetown University in Washington DC.

Meanwhile in an Instagram post last month, Adesua declared that Banky W is a very kind man stating, “I may have married the kindest person in the world. Never underestimate kindness.”

Recently, when Temi was named the Digital Ambassador for the renowned makeup brand, L’Oréal Paris, Mr Eazi couldn’t contain his excitement. He took to Instagram to celebrate her milestone, writing, “Congratulations @temiotedola on being the first ever African Digital Ambassador for the iconic @lorealparis (and) being the first Nigerian representing the brand not only across Africa but also globally.
