Though there are many couples in the entertainment industry whose marriages have worked and have stood the test of time. Some are married to pilot, presenters, businessmen and women; others chose to be with those that understand their profession.
Even though many have done everything to keep their marriage going, others have backed out seeing that they were not compatible.
Majority who have stayed together as movie stars and musicians have attributed it to friendship and trust while others see it as dedication to each other.
One of these couples is veteran actor and wife Olu Jacobs and Joke Silva. The actor agreed that though it’s not been always rosy, they disagree to agree on their differences and that has kept them going.
“Friendship. We are each other’s very close friend. It’s not as if we don’t have close friends outside our marriage, but I think we are both each other’s number one close friend. The other thing is mutual respect, the fact that we both share the same passion about the area of entertainment that we are in.
Of course, the various challenges that we’ve faced over the years, we’ve learnt how to surmount them together. At different times when it is necessary, we have both learnt to forgive each other. I guess the sum total of what I’m saying is that God’s grace has been present in our marriage.” he explained.
As many in the entertainment industry would want to say that would not want to be in this list, but we are just taken a look at just few of those who are both in same industry and are doing very well.
For 2face Idibia and wife Annie, it was believed that their marriage won’t last because of the numerous baby mamas the musician has.

Although the relationship had been off and on, somehow, these love birds always seem to find their way back together, culminating in their wedding.
Amidst all the scandals and controversies, the couple has always affirmed that ‘true love is what has kept us together all through the years’. They have shown that you can still be an entertainer and also a husband or wife.
