Mide opened up concerning how their relationship started. Afeez was Funmi Martin’s manager when she was alive but at that time, there was no romantic relationship between himself and Mide.

After the demise of Mide’s mother, they got so close but still, Mide regarded Afeez as her elder brother.

So, when he asked her out Mide said she initially rejected the request. 

From her words, she confessed it sounded strange and he asked Afeez if he was okay. 

Furthermore, her initial response to him was that such an affair wouldn’t be possible but as time went by, she began to be more conscious of some admirable qualities Afeez possessed. 

Contrary to the notion of many ladies, Mide said the qualities she noticed were not related to how wealthy or physically appealing he was. Instead, he was reliable, faithful, easy-going and caring. As a result, she decided to give him a chance in her life. 

Going forward, she also shared how their marital relationship had been, especially their romantic life. 

Mide mentioned that she’s a kind of wife that does all she can to ensure other ladies do not appeal to her husband.

Anyway, the insinuation came as a result of the picture he posted on his Instagram page. In this picture, he held a set of twins and as human, people thought his wife had just delivered twin babies. 

However, he communicated on the same platform that the picture was only a way to show his admiration for twins.
