Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has offered a heartfelt glimpse into the foundation of her long-standing marriage to Captain Matthew Ekeinde, emphasizing that her enduring commitment is rooted in a divine mandate rather than just romantic love. In a candid interview with Chude Jideonwo, the Nollywood star explained that she believes God assigned her to be by her husband’s side, a spiritual conviction that helps her navigate the inevitable challenges of marriage.
She admitted there are days she questions her decision, but turning to prayer and this sense of spiritual purpose continually strengthens her resolve. Omotola underscored that their relationship is built on choice and mutual respect, not obligation. Both partners pursue their individual life journeys, yet intentionally choose to walk them together.
Married since 1996 and parents to four children, the couple’s relationship is widely admired for its resilience, faith-based foundation, and intentional partnership—making them one of Nollywood’s most enduring love stories.
