How fate led me to my wife – Singer Kcee reveals

Nigerian singer Kingsley Okonkwo, popularly known as Kcee, recently shared the story of how he met his wife, Ijeoma, during an interview on Off The Top.

The artist revealed that their first meeting happened serendipitously when he was delivering a wedding invitation from his brother, E-Money, to the renowned musician Charly Boy.

For Kcee, it was love at first sight. He instantly felt a strong connection with Ijeoma and knew he wanted her in his life.

However, Ijeoma initially kept her distance. It was only after discovering Kcee’s identity that she agreed to share her phone number. From that moment, their love story blossomed into the relationship they cherish today.

“I met my wife when I went to give Charly Boy E-Money’s wedding invitation. Immediately, I saw her and said, ‘I want to marry this girl.’ I told Presh, ‘That’s my wife’,” he recalled.

“Presh was laughing. And I walked up to her and said, ‘I came to drop my brother’s wedding invite but I would like to invite you. Meanwhile, I want to marry you, you look like the kind of woman I would like to marry.

“She didn’t give me attention. And at the time, she did not know it was Kcee. I asked for her number she refused but later gave me after her colleague told her it was Kcee.

“We started talking and I told her, ‘I want to marry you. I don’t want to date you. If I date you we won’t get married.’

“Sometimes, we make a lot of mistakes. Some people date their husband or wife and start looking for fault and you dumb them looking for something else that you don’t know. So look for friendship and what makes you happy.”

Kcee shared that his marriage has been quarrel-free for over 14 years while describing his wife as “my friend”.

“… We have been married for about over 14 years now and we have never had a quarrel. She has never left the house to report me to a third party. How it happened I do not know” he added.

“She is my friend. I can tell her anything. If a girl sends me a message, I can show her. We are that close.”

Kcee and Ijeoma tied the knot in 2010. The union is blessed with three children.

This touching story of chance and fate has inspired fans, reminding them that love can emerge from the most unexpected encounters.
