Nollywood actor Afeez Owo has opened up about his marital life with his colleague and wife, Mide Martins.
In an interview with Behind The List, Afeez addressed him and Mide 2016 separation rumors. He revealed that it was the only serious fight they had ever had in their marriage; luckily, they reconciled.
Afeez admitted that he didn’t handle things well and scattered things; at some point, he thought that was how things would end. He noted how social media made it worse because it was something they could have resolved privately. Fortunately, they overcame it.
“There was a time rumours spread that my wife and I had separated. In truth, that was the first and only serious fight we’ve ever had in our marriage. Thankfully, we reconciled and came back together. I admit I didn’t handle it well. I scattered things, and at some point, I even thought, Is this how it’s going to end? Social media made it worse because it was something we should have resolved privately. Out of anger, I left and stayed in a hotel for two days, while she went online saying I had abandoned her and the kids. But by God’s grace, we overcame it.”
Recall that in 2016, Mide had publicly called out Afeez for moving out of their house and abandoning her and the kids.
Refuting the claims, in an interview, Afeez said Mide took the wrong advice from friends who wanted to cause havoc in their home.
In December, while receiving the Best Actress of the Year award from OAFP, Mide knelt as she appreciated Afeez Owo for his constant support. She appreciated, as she noted how without him, there is no her. She thanked him for being there for her since she lost her mother.
Last year, at a movie location, Mide had showered prayers on Afeez. Raining prayers on him, she wished him success in life and prayed for him to keep soaring higher and for him to never crumble.
While Mide’s birthday in April, Afeez had churned out beautiful words for her. He described her as the love of his life, support system, one and only first lady, and Queen of his heart. He expressed how lucky he was to have her as a partner in life and appreciated her for always being by his side.
A day later, Afeez had also celebrated his birthday and Mide had described him as her backbone and supporter and affirmed her love for him.
