BEVERLY HILLS, April 11, (THEWILL) – In November 2017, Olubankole Wellington more popularly known as Banky W and his beautiful actress wife, Adesua Etomi, walked down the aisle in a fairy tale wedding that lasted for three days. They had their traditional wedding on November 19, their court wedding on November 20 and white wedding on November 25, 2017 in faraway Dubai.
Their love affair and union got a lot of goodwill, interest and admiration from Nigerians who followed their love story, most especially after they both featured in the Nollywood blockbuster, ‘The Wedding Party’. Little did the beautiful couple know they would encounter some roller coaster experience that would test their love and dedication to each other. They had to wait for almost four years to birth their first child, Hazaiah.
In a video which has since gone viral, the couple shared their experience and the challenges they faced in the course of waiting for the fruit of the womb. According to them, they considered having a child through surrogacy before their prayer was eventually answered and they welcomed the tiny patter of a baby’s feet earlier this year in February. Adesua in the testimony she shared at The Water Brook Church where they both had a no holds barred chat about their infertility challenge said the doctor had already gotten a surrogate mother to carry her pregnancy before God gave them the directive to wait on him through faith, praise and worship. Adesua revealed she did In Vitro fertilisation, IVF twice, both of which failed, before she considered surrogacy.
