Adesua Etomi-Wellington, a Nollywood actress, has admitted that she “friend-zoned” her singer husband Bankole Wellington, also known as Banky W, for a year and a half before finally saying yes to his marriage proposal.
On Sunday, the thespian spoke during service at the Waterbrooks Church in Lagos.
She said that she “friend-zoned” him partially because she had not received a message from God at the time.
She 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.”
Banky W inferred: “No, leave sex. Don’t take it away [laughs].”
