January 01, (THEWILL) – Former Beauty Queen, Adaeze Yobo, who is married to ex-footballer, Joseph Yobo, has revealed how her husband’s retirement affected their marriage.
The mother of three disclosed that she was glad when he eventually retired, but she was bothered about him.
“I was happy he retired, we travelled around, moved around and stayed around five different cities, but I had the fear of how he will cope, cos he breathes football and that is how he makes money.
“I spoke to him and talked him through it and he came out okay cos I told him it’s okay for him to tell me when he feels sad.”
Shedding light on their marriage which recently turned 12, Adaeze said it has been beautiful.
“We met when I was 19 and he was blunt, he knew what he wanted from day one. I want to be your friend, he didn’t beat around the bush.
“A month later, he gave me a promise ring and said he wanted to marry me. I told my mum and she is like what about your university education, but he promised he will let me go to school and support me through it even in marriage and he did. I went to school in Los Angeles.”
