In Nigeria, a lot of people, including celebrities often exercise ethnic and religious sentiments when picking their partners. However, there have been a lot of changes over time that involves celebrities marrying people from other parts of the country. Some are even taking the bold step to find love across the world and among a different race.
Here is a list of some Nigerian celebrities in interracial marriages.
Ufuoma McDermott
The Delta state beauty who has been blessing our screens for more than a decade now is married to an English man, and they have two beautiful kids Isio and Kesiena. Their marriage is over ten years old, and so far, everything has been going great. Ufuoma has a very supportive husband who is always there for her with regards to her life choices and her career choice. It is not easy being an actress in Nigeria, but Ufuoma can combine being a working wife and mum because she has an understanding husband.
Adanna Steinacker
Popular Vlogger Adanna Steinacker is not strange to us. If you are active on social media, you will understand that Adanna has shown us that there is hope in digital influencing. The Imo State born Medical Doctor and Digital influencer met her German husband David while studying at the University of East Anglia and so far, they have 2 kids. The couple came into the spotlight when a dancing video of them went viral, and they were encouraged to start a YouTube channel. They did so, and the rest is history. They run the YouTube channel AdannaDavid where they share their life journey. They reside in Dublin, Ireland.
Judith Audu Foght
Award-winning actress, writer and producer Judith Audu’s marriage to her Danish lover Morten Foght is one of the friendships we admire in the entertainment industry. Apart from Mr. Foght being a loving and supportive husband, he works on every project Judith embarks upon and makes sure everything goes well. So far, no controversy has trailed the couple, and they have been living fine.
IK Ogbonna
Nollywood actor IK Ogbonna getting married to his Columbian girlfriend Sonia Morales who he met online splashed on the internet a few years ago. Though there are rumors that the happy marriage which people on social media once tapped into has ended, the Abia State born actor has revealed that his marriage to Sonia is still valid. The couple has one kid.
Angel
Apart from Regina Daniel breaking the internet consistently, the news of reality star Angel getting married to his Canadian girlfriend broke the internet a few days ago. How Angel who was all over Ahneeka in the Big Brother Naija house and who even appeared on the Airtel’s Dating Game barely three weeks ago got married immediately is beyond us. What can we say if not to wish the interracial couple a happy married life? The essence of adding Angel to the list is to show us that interracial marriages still occur.
We forgot to mention Uche Jumbo and her Latino husband Mr. Rodriguez, but now that you know, you should not limit your search for love to just Nigeria. Love can be found in any place and at any time. We wish you luck in your search for love.
