“Why I friend-zoned my husband, Banky w for over one year” – Adesua Etomi

Popular Nigerian actress, Adesua Etomi-Wellington has disclosed that she put her husband and singer, Bankole Wellington, aka Banky W, in the friend zone for over a year before accepting his marriage proposal.

She revealed this on Sunday during worship at the Waterbrooks Church in Lagos.

According to her, she “friend-zoned” her husband back then because she had not received a message from God at the time.

In her words;

“I would like to say that friendship plays a very big role in laying the foundation of your relationship. I friend-zoned my husband for a year and half [laughs].

“I friend-zoned him for two reasons. One, I wasn’t sure that I have heard from God about whether this person was actually my person. Actually, three reasons. Second, marrying Banky W [laughs]. I was like, ‘my life on my own is chaotic enough, I would now marry Banky? No, no, no.’

“And then thirdly, just trying to at least have a friendship. And I honestly believe that the friendship we laid over a year and half has played a very big role in how our relationship is today. Banky W is my guy. I mean if you take away romance and s3x and everything that makes a marriage, he would still be my guy. Banky is my best friend.”
