You wanna know what true love is, ask these couple – Actress Toyin Aimakhu and her husband – Actor Adeniyi Johnson!
You can tell that they really love each other, check HERE for instance.
They got married last year and so far, their marital journey has been “sweet cos she’s married to her best friend” – Toyin tells me :).
Despite the fact he is a junior colleague, she still treats him like a god…how sweet!
Her hubby is a year older today and below is her birthday shout out to him.
“Happy Birthday Mr Johnson, My Hubby, My Boo, paddy of life, heartbeat, daddy Seun, My small god and my joy…till death do us part…no no we live and die together” Aww!
Peradventure you have not read their love story, here you have it (courtesy of Toyin’s not-so-recent interview with PUNCH)
When you ask me about Niyi I feel like flying. I love him, he is my joy,
and my friends make jest of me a lot with him. If I want to eat I call
him; if he wants to do anything he calls me. We talk all the time.
Niyi is my junior colleague but three years older than I am. I saw him
in a movie and I was impressed by his acting. As seniors in the
industry, when we see upcoming acts we make our observations. There is a
tradition in the Yoruba movie industry, even if you are a 50-year-old
person and I am 20-years-old but I got to the industry before you, you
give me my respect. That is Yoruba culture. I am 29-years-old. By
looking at him I knew he was older than me.
He wanted to talk to me but I was not interested because he is my junior
colleague. Fortunately, Funke Akindele called me for a job, “Oro Omo“.
On getting to the set, he played my boyfriend. I would not lie, I liked
him. When I saw him on set he came to me and said he is playing my
boyfriend, I did not sound excited about it. I kept my cool. I asked him
to walk me to my car, he was talking to me and I know he liked me, he
took pictures with me. On set we were supposed to kiss, he had opened
his mouth but I did not indulge him.
When they stole my car, it gave everybody a reason to talk with me. He
started talking to me and I was impressed by his intelligence. I told
him I had seen him in Tinsel and he does a lot of soaps. His command of
English is beautiful and that attracted me more to him. I saw a book
with him and I loved it because I also love reading books. When he told
me he likes me and wanted to date me I asked if he was on cheap drugs.
He just sent me a text, ‘I did my findings and I am three years older than you, I know you don’t date for money and you don’t do married men. I love you’. I was like who is this and I disregarded the text.
We later became friends and on my birthday, we were the only ones in the
sitting room, people were outside. He told me he wanted to use the
toilet so I had to take him, as we were going; he just dragged me to
himself and kissed me. I could not resist him. He confessed to me that
he liked his movies.
On
December 31 2012, we were coming from Moji Olaiya’s movie location. He
told me to allow them take the car away, giving several excuses. He told
us to take a ferry, and on the ferry he proposed.
That was the sweetest thing that could ever happen to a woman. He asked
and I said YES. I told him that he should have told me so I would have
hired people to shout “Yes” on my behalf. We came back and there was a
cab waiting for us.
