Nollywood actress, Stephanie Okereke-Linus and her husband of over two years, Linus Idahosa had the stunning shoot in their exquisite home.
The powerful couple spoke candidly about their love story and gushed about their fondness for each other and how they fell in love at first sight!
On how he first met his wife, Linus said, “I met Stephanie while doing some Business Consulting work for a Middle Eastern Company that wanted to berth in Africa; they needed an African female celebrity ambassador for their brand; Liya Kebede from Ethiopia and Stephanie were the two candidates on tab for the role; so I reached out to her; So yeah…it was “Love for business at first sight”.
The visibly excited husband also revealed how he copes with being married to a superstar actress.
“Being married to her is an ever glowing experience; a tale I some day, would write a book about; Stephanie is an absolute blessing!
“A loving, selfless, patient, positive being; someone I have made my lifelong pursuit to make her truly happy because her heart is in the right place. It is one thing to say you believe in someone; it’s another to live it. We are friends, lovers, husband and wife.
“Pressure from fans and the likes comes with the territory; it’s even worse now with the advent of new social media, if it’s not PINGS, it’s instagram likes, if it’s not that, it’s facebook beeps, twitter alerts or linkedin invites. But it’s a world I understand, so for us, communication is key and that is what defines the boundaries of our relationship.” He narrated.
Linus described his wife in three words; Selfless, Smart and Spirited.
On her part, the leggy screen goddess described how she was attracted to her husband.
“He had a magnetic presence that was very captivating. He didn’t beat around the bush, he knew exactly what he wanted and was upfront about it, which I found charming and sexy!
“He is very tender and protective, a man’s man. He is sweet, humble, driven, has a close relationship with God, very loving and takes good care of me. We respect what we have and as a woman, when a man loves you, you just know. You know that you’re in it together, regardless of any situation. With him, there was a conviction in my heart that this is it, she said.
