A few weeks ago, Star Actress, Tayo Sobola, popularly called Sotayo Gaga, joined the list of celebrities who have walked down the aisle with their heartthrobs. Unknown to many, she had a secret wedding and kept the event away from the prying eyes of the public, including her colleagues in the industry 7 months ago.
Social
media was agog to hear about the wedding when the pretty actress posted photos
of herself in a white bridal gown and thanked her make-up artistes and bridal
vendor for making her look stunning.
In
her post, “Okay, this is not today. I only just decided to post it today.
Thanks, everyone for the messages and prayers. God bless you. @tshakky x
@lacharisnigeria and @hairbysleame thanks a million.”
Many
of her colleagues in the movie industry wished her well and also celebrated her
on their respective social media pages. The likes of popular actors, Odunlade
Adekola, Mercy Aigbe, Toyin Adewale, Wumi Toriola, Yetunde Bakere and a host of
others felicitated with her.
However,
some industry insiders claimed it may be a hoax and that the actress may not
have gotten married after all since Sotayo is naturally playful. At that time
every attempt to get her to respond proved abortive, as several calls put
through to the actress were not answered.
But
on Sunday, March 2021, the beautiful actress, Sotayo unveiled her new
collection at the prestigious Radisson Blu, tagged “Fashion/Media Exhibition
for CLEANSTITCHES, an event strictly for the media, while answering different
questions from the media, the big question popped up on why she kept her
marriage secret.
Her
response, “For those that know me very well, I mean those that are very close
to me will tell you that I’m one person that likes my privacy. I love and
respect my personal life a lot. Aside from that, it was a mutual agreement between
my husband and I to keep it a secret. I’ve been with my husband for the past
7years. Yes, we just got married but it wasn’t anyway close to the day I posted
it online. I know my husband and my husband knows me, so let’s leave it like
that. Many times, I’ll read funny stories online. I’ll read so many comments
and be like, where is this coming from? (Laughs).
