Mr. & Mrs. Ibrahim Suleiman. |
Following
their star-studded wedding over the last weekend, Linda Ejiofor has revealed
how she met and fell in love with Ibrahim Suleiman, her husband.
According
to Linda Ejiofor, the duo had been friends for years before they decided to
take the relationship to a next level after sharing a closer relationship on
the set of Tinsel in 2016.
In
her words;
"Ibrahim
and I have been friends for a few years now, but it was not until after his mum
passed away in June 2016 that we really started to bond. He was in a really
dark place and was ready to throw in the towel and move back to Abuja so he
could be closer to his siblings.
I
(along with a few members of his inner circle) was able to convince him to stay
in Lagos. He accepted a job as an Architect with a design and build firm, while
working towards his first solo exhibition as an artist.
In
November 2016, I, Harry Dorgu, and Adesua Wellington talked him into showing up
for a reading for a role on Africa Magic’s TINSEL. Prior to this, he had never
acted a scene in his life, so it was quite a coin toss for him.
The
audition went well and he landed the role of Damini White, a character who is
Bimpe Adekoya’s boss who becomes her onscreen lover. Over the next 13 months,
we had to see each other on set 3-5 times a week and then our friendship grew
stronger.
Ibrahim
developed feelings soon after but was hesitant as he didn’t want to risk losing
me as his closest friend if the relationship didn’t work out.
Eventually,
he squared up and told me how he felt. Turns out the feeling was mutual and we
both started dating quietly, with only our siblings, very close friends and a
couple of colleagues in the know."
