Celebrity Marriages Beating The Odds

The generally held perception is that celebrity marriages don’t last and over the last few years a number of divorces on that front have given it some truth.

Musician, Okyeame Kwame, says he doesn’t believe in that notion about celebrity marriages as according to him, all marriages have problems and not just that of celebrities.

For him, he wants to get rid of that perception and he and his wife Annica are well on their way to doing so as they celebrated nine years of marriage on Tuesday, January 16.

There are so many other celebrity marriages that are also beating the odds and going strong and we bring you some of them today.

Kojo Antwi and Rocklyn

Kojo Antwi and Rocklyn have been married for over three decades and in all that time, there have been no reports of marital strife although we are sure they have their own disagreements. Rocklyn has been supporting Kojo from the background though as you hardly see her with him in public. They have three lovely boys.

Kalsoume Sinare and Tony Baffoe

Before all these public celebrity weddings, there was Tony Baffoe and Kalsoume Sinare’s huge wedding in 1994. He was a popular footballer and she was a successful model and actress and their marriage, done according to Muslim custom, attracted a lot of big names.

Twenty-four years on and the two who have three children are still going strong. There is a lot to admire about these two personalities.

Reggie Rockstone and Zilla

This year, Reggie Rockstone and his doctor wife (she is the daughter of former President, Dr Hilla Limann) will be celebrating 16 years of being loved up. They first met at the Boomerang Night Club in Accra and the rest they say is history. With three children, the two are not shy about their love and Rockstone has often been seen wearing shirts with inscriptions like ‘my wife is a doctor.’

Their first meeting was in 1994 at the Kotokuraba station in Cape Coast and they got hitched on October 16, 2003 which means their 15th wedding anniversary is coming up this year.
