How Joke Silva met Olu Jacobs
Speaking during an interview on TVC’s Your View, Silva recalled meeting Jacobs on a movie set.
According to the actress, everyone appeared to know that the celebrated actor was coming, except her.
She said they quickly connected when they eventually met, but the relationship did not begin with instant romance from her side.
“Everybody knew the great Olu Jacobs was coming, except me. When he came, we got on very well,” she said.
Olu Jacobs fell first
Silva disclosed that Jacobs was immediately attracted to her, but she did not feel the same way at first.
“For him, it was love at first sight, but for me, it wasn’t,” she said.
The actress later discovered that Jacobs was much older than she initially thought because of his youthful appearance.
The pair eventually married in 1985, with Silva aged 24 and Jacobs 44.
Their marriage lasted for decades and produced two children, making their relationship one of Nollywood’s most celebrated unions.
