Actress Adesua Etomi-Wellington, the beautiful wife of singer and actor Olubankole Wellington has publicly emphasized that if s€x and romance is taken away from her relationship with her husband she would still have him as her best friend.
She went on to explain why she friendzoned him for nearly one year before she finally agreed to marry him.
On Sunday at the Waterbrooks Church in Lagos, the actress said:
“I would like to say that friendship plays a very big role in laying the foundation of your relationship. I friend-zoned my husband for a year and half [laughs].
“I friend-zoned him for two reasons. One, I wasn’t sure that I have heard from God about whether this person was actually my person. Actually, three reasons. Second, marrying Banky W [laughs]. I was like, ‘my life on my own is chaotic enough, I would now marry Banky? No, no, no.’
And then thirdly, just trying to at least have a friendship. And I honestly believe that the friendship we laid over a year and half has played a very big role in how our relationship is today. Banky W is my guy. I mean if you take away romance and sex and everything that makes a marriage, he would still be my guy. Banky is my best friend.”
Obviously from her statement, she insisted that she didn’t say ‘yes’ to her husband back then because she didn’t hear from God and that she was waiting to hear from God. Also, she said she wasn’t sure it was the right time.
Banky W interjected: “No, leave s€x. Don’t take it away [laughs].”
Remember that, the celebrity couple got married in November 2017, and had their first child, Hazaiah in January 2021.
