October 25, (THEWILL) – Sunmbo Adeoye, wife of the pastor of Royalty Christian Centre Lagos, Pastor David Adeoye, has revealed one of her biggest challenges faced while making the decision to marry again after having two children already.
Her fears back then are no more as she is enjoying her marriage to the calm pastor ten years on.
In a recent post on her Instagram, she wrote, “Over 10 years ago when I was about to marry pastor @davidoadeoye, one of the things I had to consider was my children. I wanted a place for them in my marriage. They were so young, which meant our marriage had to start with children.
“I know these are major issues for single mothers who desire to start a new life, so in chapter 7 of my memoir @refurbishedhopeforafreshstart, I wrote about the journey to becoming – The Pastor’s wife. My early challenges as a newly married woman with kids meant that our marriage was starting as 4 people instead of the usual 2 that everyone is used to. This memoir will give you the faith booster and needed encouragement for the journey ahead. My darling sister, before marrying, make sure you see your partner for who they truly are.”
Sumbo had two sons, Nino and Zion Idibia, from her previous relationship with Afrobeat star, Innocent Ujah Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, before her marriage to Pastor David in 2013, who is a big father figure to them today.
In July 2018, the couple welcomed their first child, Prince David Adeoye, in the United States of America after five years of marriage and their second child, a baby girl, on May 12, 2020.
Pastor Adeoye lost his wife, Pastor Mrs Folake Adeoye, to a brief illness in November 2011. The marriage did not produce any child.
Sumbo was not only a member of the Royal Christian Centre but also a member of the choir.
