Checkout, Nollywood Actresses Likely To Wed In 2021
The year 2020, which many described as a year of weeping and wailing, has come and gone, but the world cannot forget talking about it. While the year 2020 did not witness any high profile wedding as it was the case in 2019, where the likes of actress Toyin Abraham and her hubby Kolowole Ajeyemi, Adekunle Gold and Simi, 9ice and his baby mama Olakun Kanmi, BB Naija Double Wahala reality TV stars Bambam and Teddy among others walked down the aisle.
Meanwhile, it looks like love is in the air this year with many new love stories dominating the social media space. Already some of the love birds have also gone public with their relationships, while many others are still keeping theirs under wraps. But we try as much as possible to predict the celebrities that will likely take the next step in their relationships.
RITA DOMINIC: Screen diva, Rita Dominic, has always been keeping her relationship with men private, but recently, the actress unveiled her dream man, Fidelis Anosike, a media personality and founder/chief executive of Folio media group, a multimedia group that owns Daily Times Nigeria, established 1926
Recall that the actress has once vowed to marry the man of her dream despite societal pressure on her to get married. She revealed in an interview that she almost married someone, but it ended up not working out between her and the supposed spouse.
True to her words, the actress has found the man of her dream and she is ready to walk down the aisle. Needless to say that fans are waiting with bated breath for the ringing of her wedding bells which will probably happen in the first quarter of 2021.
GENEVIEVE NNAJI: It was once rumoured that Genevieve, had tied the nuptial knot in Portugal following an adorable picture of her and her alleged white hubby looking all loved up which shared on IG, but the rumour was unsubstantiated as the mother of one, who had a daughter at the age of 17 is still single.
In one of her interviews, the 42-year-old actress had said she preferred to stay single than experience a broken marriage. In any case, with her kitty full of prosperity, a wedding does seem like it would be a herculean task, but it will be a treat for all her fans and the time is now.
MERCY AIGBE: In an Instagram post early in the year, Mercy Aigbe hinted that she would be tying the knot with her new fiancée in 2021.” We are getting married in January 2021, it happened unexpectedly but I am very happy about it and can’t wait to be one with my love”, she wrote.
This will be Aigbe’s second marriage after her first marriage to ex-hotelier husband, Lanre Gentry, crashed owing to domestic violence and alleged infidelity. Her fans can’t wait to behold their screen idol walk the aisle in 2021.
INI EDO: Ini Edo has not made it public, but rumours are flying round that the actress will soon remarry. Recall that her first marriage to American based business man, Philip Ehiagwina crashed in 2014 due to irreconcilable differences between them at the time.
In 2017, it was rumoured that the beautiful actress had agreed to become a second wife to one of the Lekki-Lagos big boys, but it never happened, until controversial actor Uche Madnagwu hinted early last month on his Instagram page that the actress was about to get married again. He cautioned her to keep her love affairs away from her friends.
IJEOMA IMOH: Beautiful actress, Ijeoma Imoh is certainly ready to give marriage a chance, but the right man has not come her way. The Arochukwu, Abia State born actress recently confided in whispers that she was looking forward to settling down as a woman.
She may have been in and out of relationships, it would certainly not be wrong for her fans to expect it will finally happen this year.
