“But when I met this young pilot… He convinced me it would be worth it … No pressure… I’m not trying to change you, he said… Can you handle her , they all said… What do you think ? He’s doing a good job? #AlphaFemale #AlphaMale #Alphalife #Powercouple #25yearsNoMajorstress.”
Matthew proposed to Omotola when she was 18. He was twelve years older than her.
