SEE The Love Story Of Comedian Princess And Her Husband
Popular Nigerian female comedian, Princess, and
her movie producer/director husband, Adeshola
Jeremiah, tied the knot on Wednesday 8th May
2013 at the Balmoral Hall, Oregun, Lagos. It was
indeed a happy day for 'Madam' Princess who had
almost lost of hope of finding a husband.
Below is their very interesting love story
.
On what attracted her to Adeshola
Jeremiah
Well he is a quiet person and if not for the fact that
I am into entertainment, I also like my privacy, I
don’t like unnecessary show-off. If I go somewhere
and they don’t recognize me, that is very okay by
me, I just love to be myself.
How They Met
He saw me when I went for their program in
Odunfa Cancus (A Yoruba Theatre Group). I went
because of a friend of mine Latifat, who was also
trained there. She was in UNILAG and my junior
in Theatre Arts. So I went there and that was
where he saw me and that was like so many years
ago in 2005.
Every time I visit my friend, because they are
always together, he will see me there, he couldn’t
approach me, not because of my status but the fact
that anytime I come I will just play with everyone
for like 5 to 10 minutes and just zoom off. And I
play and smile with everyone but I don’t give that
chance that I am easily approachable in order not
to draw unnecessary attention.
Things Were Different This Time…
Then in 2008, he was shooting his own movie, I
also went there to see a friend of mine, he saw me
again and went to meet that friend of mine, he told
her he wanted to meet me that he would want me
to play a role in the movie.
My friend discouraged him saying if he should
meet me, it will look like they didn’t plan
themselves well. That same year, he was with that
my friend when I came to visit and he told her “I
really want to marry Princess” (laughs) and my
friend started laughing and she told him it’s not
possible.
He kept on pestering her and told her why don’t
you tell her first and lets hear what she says, she
(Latifat) now said I don’t think I can tell her,
Princess is my very close friend and I can’t tell her
that because Princess doesn’t have time for men
now and she has said it’s her work for now. But he
continued disturbing her to tell me, so that day we
were watching a TV program and I love cooking so
she saw a dish and said this dish is very nice how I
wish I could eat it now and I said oh you want me
to stand up and go prepare this food, so when I
went to the kitchen.
She later came into the kitchen and said she
wanted to tell me something, and I said what is it,
she said this person likes me and wants to marry
me, so I just started laughing, it was very funny,
she felt embarrassed and went back to the sitting
room, I asked her why won’t I be embarrassed,
when the person told you, why didn’t you just tell
him Princess won’t agree and she said that’s
exactly what she told the person but the person
insisted.
I told her to give the person my number, and when
he called I was just laughing, he asked “what’s
funny”, I said nothing, he now said “well he is
Latifat’s friend” and I said yes I know that, and I
started bombarding him with questions just to
discourage him, so he won’t call again.
So when his credit got finished, he called back
again. I said this one I have been asking him many
questions na wa o but its okay do I have more
questions to ask? and I said yes o and started
asking him more questions, I asked him questions
again till 11:30 PM, he ran out of credit again and
called back, and I am like where are you getting all
the money for this credit, he just said “don’t worry
I will call you back”, when he called back again he
asked if I had more questions and I said no
because it was already past midnight and we have
been talking since past 6.
Friend to Fiance;
That was it! We later became friends and got very
close, then he said he wanted to marry me and
even told me many things about myself. I was quite
surprised and wondered how he got to know all
about me. That was how we started and things
continued but we just decided to keep everything
low key. At first I felt it was low key and if he
disappionts me, it won’t hurt too much, but when
everything became too serious that was how
everything went then we started meeting our
families and I discovered that some people he
knew, were also the same people I know.
On her sudden wedding announcement
Yes we have been planning it but because my sister
was getting married on February 14th, we just felt
that hers is the reigning wedding and they were the
latest couple, so we concentrated more on hers and
also we were trying to avoid the news reaching the
press.
So I think 3 weeks or about a month to our
wedding, we had already done the introduction
and that was when we now started distributing the
invitations, because we said if we give people the
IVs earlier, news will go around. My husband
started distributing his cards a month to the
wedding but I started 2 and a half weeks to the
wedding because I just said everybody will hear.
On not wanting to publicize her Wedding
The thing is, that’s the kind of person I am. I am
just there, I just believe I am like every other
Nigerian and even though my work has exposed
me and made me to be seen or perceived as a
celebrity, my partner is not a public person like
that and we just didn’t want too much noise.
Even the day I sent text messages to some of my
friends, the next day I started reading so many
stories on the internet, and you can imagine that
people wrote on the internet that Princess is getting
married because she was pregnant and now she is
trying to get one guy to marry her.
It was even my husband who saw it and called my
attention to it. He was lying on the couch and just
laughing and I was like, what’s funny and who are
you chatting with?, he just said there is something
they wrote on the internet and I said what, he just
said it’s on Facebook, they said you are pregnant,
and I said don’t mind them but I just felt bad
because people sometimes naturally find it difficult
to be happy for others.
Even now that I am married, I pray to have kids
but you can’t start spreading rumours that
somebody is getting married because they are
pregnant. You don’t have an insight nor
information about them, you can’t reach those
people so you just write anything you want. But
anyway I didn’t let that bother me, I just kept it to
myself. Even when I was rehearsing for my show
because we had two different dance routines and it
was difficult, so I didn’t even have time to dwell on
that.
On what she loves most about him
I love everything about him and he is very
understanding. He understands the essence of us
being on earth which is just to worship God and he
is God fearing.
That’s the first thing I noticed about him and I was
even surprised. I have always said If I had choice, I
will marry a musician but then which musician can
I now marry (laughs). He is very God fearing and
at least we are not perfect but if you are God
fearing, you will always know when you are doing
something wrong
