Actress Ekene Umenwa has opened up about her journey to finding love with her husband Alex Kleanson.
In a recent interview, Ekene revealed that their relationship began five years ago as a business connection.
Over time their professional interactions blossomed into a close friendship before Alex expressed romantic interest in her.
She eventually reciprocated, and their bond deepened into a lasting partnership.
The actress disclosed that she chose to keep their relationship private in its early stages, explaining that she wanted to ensure it was spiritually right before going public.
“I kept my marriage under wraps because I value my privacy,” Ekene said.
“I wouldn’t have announced it publicly if the wedding hadn’t been imminent.”
Ekene used the opportunity to advise single women, encouraging them to resist societal pressure to rush into relationships or marriage.
She emphasised the importance of patience and trusting in one’s timing, adding that happiness comes from making authentic and deliberate choices.
Reflecting on her career, Ekene expressed gratitude to her devoted fans, attributing her success to divine favor.
“I didn’t build my fan base, God did. My fans are organic and love me for who I am,” she said.
Ekene and Alex who tied the knot in 2023 celebrated their first wedding anniversary this year.
The couple welcomed their first child in 2024, marking yet another milestone in their journey together.
