Nigerian singer and politician, Banky W, has disclosed that his wife, actress Adesua Etomi-Wellington, was the one who initiated the step that eventually led to their marriage.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

reports that the couple opened up about their relationship journey in a recent interview with Teju Babyface, where they reflected on how their love story began and developed over time.

Banky W explained that he had shown romantic interest in Adesua at the early stage, but she placed him in the friend zone for a long period. He said he eventually stopped pursuing her directly and turned to prayer, hoping things would change.

According to him, after about a year and a few months, Adesua contacted him and referred to him as her husband, a moment he described as the turning point in their relationship.

“Adesua was actually the one who asked me to be her husband. She kept me in the friend zone for a long time, so I stopped pushing and simply prayed to God to touch her heart. After a year and a few months, she finally called me ‘my husband’, and that’s it,” he said.

Adesua also spoke about their marriage, revealing that they have been together for 10 years and still share a strong bond. She said they maintain affection through simple habits like holding hands and sleeping close to each other.

She added that she once had reservations about marrying entertainers, pastors, and politicians, but noted that her husband fits all three categories, which she believes reflects a divine plan.

“We’ve been married for 10 years and we still hold each other’s hands all the time. We sleep together with our feet touching each other. I didn’t want to marry an artiste, a pastor and a politician, but God gave me all three,” she said.
