Charles Okocha Opens Up About His 7-Year Relationship and Upcoming Wedding
Nollywood actor Charles Okocha has left fans stunned after revealing his engagement to his long-time partner. The actor, known for his humorous and bold social media presence, took to Instagram on November 5, 2024, to announce his upcoming wedding, sharing several affectionate pictures with his fiancée. The post included a newly launched wedding hashtag, #MICHARLES2024, marking the couple’s journey towards their nuptials.
In an exclusive interview with Punch Newspaper, Okocha shared that he and his fiancée have been together for seven years, maintaining a relationship away from the public eye. “We have been dating since 2017, quietly, with no social media show of affection,” he revealed. His fiancée, a nurse based in the United States, has been a constant part of his life, and he emphasized that now feels like the right time for marriage.
Okocha also spoke about his children, expressing how they are supportive and happy with the news. “My kids are very comfortable and happy with the news,” he said, indicating that family is an essential part of his decision to settle down.
The announcement came as a surprise to many, especially since Okocha had previously been hesitant about marriage. In 2023, he openly discussed his reasons for avoiding commitment, citing the increasing rates of divorce among high-profile couples. “The truth is, I have never been married in my life, and I am a happy man,” he had shared. However, his perspective has since changed, and he is now ready to take the next step in his personal life.
Okocha’s revelation has sparked a mix of excitement and curiosity among fans, some of whom initially thought his post was for an upcoming film role. However, with the official confirmation, the wedding plans are set to become one of the most anticipated events in Nollywood.
As Okocha prepares for this new chapter with his fiancée, he remains a popular figure on social media, where his fans are eager to follow his journey into married life.
