Nigerian singer Simi has disclosed that she never harbored intentions of marrying a fellow musician, unraveling the unique love story that led to her union with Adekunle Gold.
Simi made this revelation during an engaging interview on the ‘Tea With Tay’ podcast, providing an intimate glimpse into the unconventional beginnings of her relationship with Adekunle Gold.
Recalling the genesis of their connection, Simi recounted how she first encountered Adekunle as a graphics designer, not as the acclaimed musician the world now knows him to be.
Initially oblivious to his musical pursuits, Simi believed Adekunle was merely a fan eagerly seeking a connection with her on Facebook.
“When I met him, I didn’t know my husband was singing because I had already made up my mind not to marry a singer,” Simi confessed during the podcast.
Her preconceived notion about romantic involvement with musicians was challenged as Adekunle’s identity unfolded in an unexpected way.
In the early stages of their interaction, Simi perceived Adekunle as a dedicated enthusiast, particularly in the realm of graphic design.
“He used to do this ‘King of Photoshop’ that time,” she shared, shedding light on Adekunle’s creative endeavors before his musical talents took center stage in their relationship.
Despite Adekunle’s attempt to initiate contact through a message on Facebook, Simi initially missed the communication and left it unanswered.
However, fate seemed to be at play as Simi gradually sensed that Adekunle could be someone significant in her life.
The subtle yet persistent connection they shared ultimately paved the way for a deeper understanding of each other’s aspirations and dreams.
“I sensed that he would be good for me,” Simi revealed, highlighting the intuitive aspect that played a pivotal role in shaping their relationship.
The unfolding narrative underscores the unpredictable nature of love and how preconceived notions can give way to unexpected connections that transcend initial expectations.
In 2019, Adekunle Gold and Simi sealed their love marriage, marking a union that defied Simi’s initial reservations about marrying a musician.
The revelation of Simi’s unexpected journey to marital bliss serves as a reminder that love often unfolds in ways we least anticipate, challenging and reshaping our perceptions along the way.
