Nigerian singer and politician Banky W has revealed that his wife, actress Adesua Etomi-Wellington, was the one who initiated their relationship, a surprising twist in their well-known love story. The couple shared intimate details about their journey during a recent interview with media personality Teju Babyface, offering fans a rare glimpse into their personal lives. They discussed how their bond began, evolved over time, and how they’ve maintained a strong connection after a decade of marriage.
Banky W disclosed that he had been interested in Adesua from the start, but she kept him in the friend zone for a long time. Instead of pushing harder, he chose to step back and pray, trusting that God would change her heart. He said, “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.”
This moment marked the beginning of their romantic relationship, which eventually led to marriage. Their love story, once seen as a whirlwind romance, has now matured into a lasting partnership. Adesua, who is also a respected actress, spoke about the enduring nature of their bond, emphasizing the small gestures that keep their relationship alive. She said, “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.”
She also shared a heartfelt reflection on how she never imagined marrying someone who is an artiste, a pastor, and a politician — all roles Banky W embodies. “I didn’t want to marry an artiste, a pastor and a politician but God gave me all three,” she said, highlighting the divine element she believes guided their union.
The couple’s openness about their relationship has resonated with fans across Nigeria and beyond. Their story stands as a testament to patience, faith, and the power of mutual respect. As they continue to grow together, both professionally and personally, their journey remains a source of inspiration for many couples navigating love in the public eye. Their enduring partnership suggests that even in the fast-paced world of celebrity, true connection can thrive with time, trust, and intention.
