The couple got married on 14 February 2013 in a Lagos registry. Nse, who has been open about the couple’s struggle with infertility, revealed in her anniversary message that she never thought that they would get this far.
Her husband has taught her that love is not easy, she wrote, and it is not comfortable, but she can’t wait for the future.
She wrote: “It’s been 7 years now and I never thought we’d make it this far.. Life has not been perfect, I haven’t been perfect and they’ve been times when we just wanted to down tools, questioned our choices and decisions that led us here.
“I am glad we held on tighter irregardless of all the elements, we let our love prevail. 7 years hasn’t been easy, it’s been pure work and commitment. It gets easier because we have each other, yes we are different, but here we are even tighter… our storms have made us closer even braver to face more only because we have each other.
“You’ve taught me that love is not easy, not comfortable but love is more beautiful when it undergoes changes. I love the past (all of it) and cant wait for the future… Happy Anniversary to us both.
