Stella Damasus, Stephanie Okereke Relish Marital Bliss
In an age where celebrity marriages are beginning to fail for one reason or the other, Nollywood actress, Stella Damasus has been married three times, but people did not know the trauma she has had to overcome. She recently revealed how people often mocked her, but today she is grateful for her husband, Daniel Ademinokan.
The actress and her film director-husband, Daniel Ademinokan took to instagram to share how much they love each other. Daniel had earlier written that Stella has shown him what it means to be really loved and for this, he would remain grateful.
Stella then responded by writing on how people often laughed at her because she had been married three times. She was once married to Jaiye Aboderin, Laure Nzeribe and Daniel Ademinokan who is hubby number three. She posted thus:
“@dabishop007.honey, words cannot express how you have made me feel. When people laughed at me, and called me names, saying I have been married three times, it hurt me, but in my heart I know it was worth it. Taking a chance on love again was risky for me, but only God knows how many nights I cried and told him if it was not meant to be he should close the chapter”.
“When I met you I found a friend, a father, a brother, a confidant and a business partner I didn’t know God had plans for me, plans that were better than the ones I actually prayed for. Thank you for coming into our lives, you are the most romantic, appreciative, kind, loving, caring and understanding husband any woman can ask for. You also helped me through my healing process.
“The girls love you so much for being an amazing dad and friend. I dey come back in two days O! Tell Shikaru and the rest say the owner of your sact na kolo o, make dem no try me. When I get better thing, I dey hold am tight. I no dey take am play football lie lie, I love you boo, see you soon”.
In a related development, Nollywood actress, Stephanie Okereke-Linus has also spoken out about how she is enjoying her second marriage. She also revealed that she has no regrets about being Mrs Linus Idahosa. The mother of one also spoke about not giving birth on time.
Stephanie has had her fair share of marital crisis as her marriage to ex-footballer, Chikelu Illoanusi packed up under spurious circumstances, but her second marriage to Linus Idahosa is doing well.
Speaking in a recent interview, Stephanie revealed that she was enjoying her marriage and she had no regrets marrying at the time she did. “Marriage has been a wonderful experience all the way. I am happy that I am with someone I love and we are both excited to be sharing the rest of our lives with each other. I have no regrets about getting married at the time I did as I believe that God’s time is the best”, she said.
Asked if she felt any pressure for delaying the birth of her son, she said she did work with anybody’s time. “Like I have stated before, it was a personal decision between me and my husband, I do not work with anybody else’s time, so far. I know what is good for me, I will go for it.
