Omotola has this to say: “People have insinuated all
kinds of things and read numerous meaning to what was
nothing but an innocuous picture taken of me and a
member of my new management team at the Grammys.
The picture was an innocent one, signifying nothing.
“I have been married to my husband for 15 years now,
and I say this loud and clear that I have never cheated
on him, and would never do so ever! Remember I said
in an interview I granted you in 2009, that yes, I have
been tempted numerous times to violate my marital
vows, but I have always resisted the temptation to do
anything that would bring dishonor to my marriage and
my children.
If I told you – as a popular actress – that we have not
been tempted, I would be lying to you. But should one
sacrifice all what one has built, nurtured and worked
hard to establish just because you want to indulge in
some ill-motivated affair? No. I don’t believe in that. I
count myself blessed to have married a perfect
gentleman, a man who has supported me throughout
my years in the industry, and is still there, as a rock of
Gibraltar. My husband is a rare find, and no amount of
temptation will ever make me cheat on him.
“So the notion or the rumor that my haters and nay-
sayers have spread to the effect that the guy at the
Grammys was my boyfriend, is ludicrous, to say the
least! If I wanted to cheat on my husband, would I do
that in the open? Would I advertise my boyfriend for
everyone to see and at such a public function? Just
analyze that logically – would that be a commonsensical
thing to do?
“This rumor is really a sick one and I’m offended. My
husband is my soul-mate and I will never soil or put that
trust in jeopardy – no matter what and the extent of the
temptation. It is not worth it.” (At this point, she
handed the phone to her husband).
It was obvious from the manner Mr. Ekeinde, pilot,
sounded, that he was pained and frustrated by all the
unfounded rumours about his wife’s glorious outing at
the Grammys
Ekeinde, Omotola's Husband: “My brother, I am very proud of my wife’s
accomplishments and I join other well wishers and
millions of her fans to toast her success. I’m a little
surprised that instead of Nigerians celebrating her
appearance at the Grammys and her being the first
Nollywood star to walk the red carpet, they are busy
spreading tales and rumours that do not exist”’, he said.
“Truth be told, I was not angry with my wife when I saw
the picture. Why should I be? I know who I married,
how self-respecting she is and also the nature of her
industry. She is an actress for God’s sake, and it is not
out of place for actresses to appear in scenes that may
look a little out of place for a married person.
‘’The key thing is that my wife respects her marital
status, and in our 15-year-marriage, she has been the
best woman any man could aspire to have. In spite of
her stardom, at home, she is my wife. She cooks for
me, takes care of the home and, above all, is a great
mother to our lovely children.
“I sincerely would implore her fans not to buy into
rumours and speculations about her marital life, because
I, the husband, the one that is lucky to have her as my
wife, am so proud of her and I continue to thank God
for bringing her into my life. I could never have asked
for a better wife than her.”
