In a world where celebrity marriages are often short-lived and riddled with controversy, Nollywood actor Odunlade Adekola stands out as a shining example of love, loyalty, and longevity. The award-winning actor recently opened up about his marriage to his wife, Ruth Adekola, offering a rare and heartfelt glimpse into the personal life behind the superstar. "My name is Odunlade Adekola, and I am happily married to my beautiful wife, Ruth Adekola. We have been married for over years now, since 2003," he shared. "People often ask me how we have stayed together for so long in an industry where many marriages fail. The answer is simple God, patience, and understanding." Odunlade, known for his commanding presence on screen and comedic flair, speaks with deep affection and humility when it comes to his wife. "Marriage is not always rosy, but when you marry your friend, it becomes easier to weather the storms. Ruth has been my pillar of support from the days I was still struggling in the movie industry till now. She is not just my wife, she is my prayer partner, my adviser, and my number one fan." Their union, blessed with four children, remains mostly away from the public eye. According to the actor, privacy is a conscious choice. "We try as much as possible to keep our family life private because I believe that not everything should be for public display. My children are growing up well, and I thank God for their lives." Despite his demanding schedule and growing fame, Odunlade remains intentional about family time. "No matter how popular you become, family should always come first. That is what keeps me grounded and reminds me of my purpose in life." In a touching conclusion, the beloved actor credits his enduring peace and joy at home to one source: “In all, I give God the glory for blessing me with a peaceful home and a loving family.” Odunlade Adekola’s story is not just one of success in Nollywood, it’s a testament to faith, friendship, and the enduring power of love behind the limelight.
