However, that doesn't mean some such relationships are not usually successful. Legit.ng, in this article, will highlight four popular relationships of such that have botched the trend and have been hugely successful.
1. Peter Okoye and Lola Omotayo:
Peter Okoye of the famous singing duo PSquare stirred the public's emotions when he announced his relationship with Lola Omotayo. This woman is nearly ten years older than him.
However, rather than sway, this couple has waxed stronger since they went public with their relationship and have been married since 2013.
Lola and Peter dated for over eight years before finally tying the knot. They have two kids together, a boy and a girl. Lola recently turned 50 years while Peter is 41 years old.
2. Stan Nze and Blessing Jessica Obasi:
Another famous Nollywood couple who share this type of unique relationship is the actor Stan Nze and his lovely wife, Blessing Obasi.
Blessing is ten years older than Stan, but with the way the couple relate and carry themselves, you wouldn't know.
Even though their relationship is still young, after tying the knot in 2021, you wouldn't know with the selfless care and genuine love they show each other.
We love and genuinely celebrate this young couple and wish them many more happy years ahead.
3. Anita Joseph and Mc Fish:
A couple of years back, ace Nollywood actress Anita Joseph got people talking when she went public with her relationship with her husband, Fisayo Micheal, aka Mc Fish.
Mc Fish is a hypeman, radio presenter and a famous socialite. His relationship with the curvy actress was hugely criticised when they started out and finally did tie the knot.
Anita is 37 years old, and Mc Fish is currently 28. The actress is nearly a decade older than her lover, but that hasn't stopped her from loving and respecting Mc Fish as her husband and being an actual model of how a surreal relationship should be.
4. Kaffy and Joseph Ameh:
Another famous relationship within the Nigerian entertainment industry with a considerable age gap where the woman is older than the man is the relationship between Kaffy and Joseph Ameh.
The pair got married when Kaffy was 33 and Joseph Ameh, aka Pappy Jay, was just 25 years old, and they have two kids together.
Though they're currently no longer together, their marriage ended in 2022. However, it was a joy to watch while it lasted.
