Not many would really remember that Alibaba, the comedian, was formerly married before he met his current wife. Reason: His relationship with his wife, Mary has lasted for years now and the duo never fail to showcase their love at every given opportunity.
Last week, the ace comedian and his wife, Mary, celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary. He posted a picture on his instagram page with an emotive message saying, “Happy Wedding Anniversary to us. It’s been a story of both ends. Sadness and joy, rich and poor, yes and no, here and there, fight and play, this and that, laugh and cry, hope and despair, high and low, yours and mine, plenty and scarce, friends and foes, we and them, good and bad. But here and now, we are still here forever and ever.”
In an exclusive chat with Saturday Beats, the veteran comedian explained that marriage was not a bed of roses as he added that celebs’ marriages could break up just as it happens in other sectors.
“Marriage has not been a walk in the park for me. It has been tough and also lovely. If anyone tells you that being married is a bed of roses, then the person has not been married. The thing is that people should learn to pile up the good times so that when the bad times come, the good times override them. What happens most times is that the bad moments are so many people can count the good times and that is when they say they have irreconcilable differences. I think we are doing well. I can’t put a hand on what has kept us going and what makes our union great but I am grateful to God for everything.
“There are break-ups everywhere and the only reason it is more pronounced in the entertainment industry is because we are in the public eye. It is a common phenomenon that happens to pastors, ministers; even the president of France, his wife left him. It is just because we are celebrities people talk about it,” Alibaba said.
