Actor, Ibrahim Suleiman Recounts Meeting And Falling In Love With His Wife, Linda, While In Another Relationship
Nollywood actor, Ibrahim Suleiman, has opened up on how he met and got married to his colleague, Linda Ejiofor.
According to the proud dad of one, he was in a serious relationship when he fell in love with the actress, whom he first saw and met on the Tinsel series.
Ibrahim and Linda shared their love story during an interview with Pulse, where he explained that he thought the relationship he was in before meeting Linda would lead to marriage.
He added that he had already ordered for an engagement ring in preparation for D-Day only for things to change when he saw his wife on an episode of the series.
Suleiman further disclosed that his wife came into his life at the right time when he was battling with getting out of a dark relationship with his ex-girlfriend.
In his words:
“In a manner of speaking. Because at the time, I was seriously in a relationship. The first time I saw you, I was in a relationship I thought was going to end in marriage because I don order ring, at the time.
However, I was walking, I went to visit my mother, and I was walking past the living room while she was watching an episode of Tinsel.
I didn’t really used to watch TV at all because I was a gamer, and so I saw this beautiful girl on TV and she was talking. And the way her lips were moving, I was like “Ah, she has nice lips. I would like to kiss that girl one day”. Guess who kisses that girl everyday now.
BOOM! See, I’m a man of target setting! So I fell in love with your lips first, you understand, then I now met the rest of you that came with the lips. Then you know, you are fun, you are intelligent, you are hardworking, you are stubborn. All the things I like about a woman. I don’t like boring babes. So yeah, it was almost at first sight.
You made me believe in relationships again because I was coming out of something that was dark and I was at the point in my life where I was like you know what? Just focus on your career. Women are not worth your effort and your energy.
So just focus on your career, spoil your siblings because that was all I had left. Then you showed up, and let’s just say that you made me see women in a good light again, because they don show me shege. You made me learnt to trust again that partnership is stronger than trying to go it alone.
So I’m glad that you’re my partner and you’re my friend, and we’re a duo. I got you because I know you got me!,”
he told his wife during the interview.
