Forces in and outside movie industry against my union with wifey — Lateef Adedimeji

Famous actor, Lateef Adedimeji, has opened up about how his relationship with his wife, Mobimpe, turned to marriage, saying there was nothing about their relationship that suggested they could end up as a couple.

Lateef, who is a cross-over actor, said he never knew Bimpe would be accepted by his family because he came from a Muslim background while his wife is from a Christian background.

In an interview with Per Seconds News, Lateef revealed that his wife was never in the picture for her due to their religious background and the fact that they are both in the same profession, adding that making movies together was the first reason they can’t end up together as husband and wife.

Bimpe in a separate interview had exclusively told this reporter that every rumour linking him with a romantic relationship with Lateef should be disregarded as there was no such thing in her agenda.

She ruled out dating or marrying Lateef but never said she would not marry an actor when she first spoke to this reporter about their sudden closeness.

While they continued working together on different movie projects, Lateef confirmed that they couldn’t do without being in each other’s thoughts all day as the love grew beyond what they expected.

Before they eventually got married last year, Lateef confirmed that there were forces within and outside the movie industry that insisted that their marriage would not work, pointing out that he and his wife decided to stick together against all odds and became close to each other.

Speaking about the experience of being married to her, Lateef said: ” She’s the best thing that has happened to him. You remember I told you we were never getting married.

“That the rumours should not be given any serious attention but we finally did and we are enjoying every moment of our togetherness.

“We have been learning and unlearning on the journey. I am excited about her and she loves me deeply as well.

“This helps us to get along and overlook shortcomings. I am glad I too the decision to marry her.”
