Balogun and Nwachukwu who is the owner of Jetwest Airways got married in May 2018 .In this chat, she discloses how they met and how life has been as a step mum to her husband’s two sons.
Speaking on how they ended up together, she said,
”I honestly didn’t envision I would get married as soon as I did. For me, it has always been about connections. I have never particularly dated guys for what they had or what they can give me. So when you meet someone that is the definition of kindness, of partnership, of love, of understanding, it just makes life easy. I think that is when you know somebody is for you, when it is not hard, when you don’t have to beg someone for attention, when you don’t have to communicate with you, they love what you do, they push you. It feels effortless.
So we were friends. We were introduced by a mutual friend, comedian Chigurl. She has got the spirit. I don’t know how many marriages Chioma has got under her belt. She was like, I have a guy that really likes you. We always joke and call you Slaynab. So we met, we had coffee. I wasn’t sure so I was like we should just be really good friends. We just built a really good bond and he became someone that I would talk to all the time.”
Prior to their marriage, Nwachukwu was a widower whose wife died in 2015.
Speaking on how it was like when she first met his children, Balogun said,
”At first I was Aunty Zainab and I remember my husband saying they really like you. I was like how can you tell and he was like suddenly, they are performing for you. They normally don’t do that. Then we started spending time together, doing all the fun stuff’
”I will never ever forget when we told them that we were going to get married. It was such a special moment. I remember they were sitting down and I was recording, they didn’t know I was recording and I said to them that me and Daddy are thinking of getting married.. so how would you feel if I became your mum and we got married? It was so weird they burst into tears. They were so happy and for me, it just made sense.”

ReplyDeleteyou know it
DeleteExactly. Also that’s how Chioma met her ex husband! He is a 1st cousin on the kalabari side of Dikko, whose mum is Yoruba and Kalabari!

Pretty lady.
ReplyDeleteMay peace and love from heaven reign Supreme in their home. Amen
Awww that's cute the kids love her. She comes across as a very cool headed girl. I pray they continue to live as one happy family. God bless ur home Zainab Nwachukwu my sister inlaw.
ReplyDeleteWow! God bless them. I pray Zainab tak3s the Children as her own and be a good mother to them. God will surely bless her if she does. It is not easy to remarry. I lost my husband years ago and my son keeps asking me when I will marry so that he can have a ddady. These are behind the scene things that widowed parents sometimes go through. I pray I get a good companion after all these years if not I will rather remain single and shield my home from drama.
ReplyDeleteYour very heart desires and all your private prayers will all be granted by God.
DeleteGod will compel your Blessings to locate you IJN, amen.
May God hear your sincere prayers and grant you your heart desire.
