How I Fell In Love With Funke Akindele – JJC Opens Up

JJC in an interview over the weekend revealed how she met his wife Funke Akindele and how he fell in love with the superstar actress.

He also told Punch the qualities that attracted him to the Jenifa star.

Read excerpts from the interview below:-

How did you meet your wife?

She had an idea called Jenifa’s Diary that she wanted to do, and she was looking for a good director and cameraman, so she called me to help her shoot the TV series, and that was how we met.

Was it love at first sight?

Absolutely, it was an instant connection. In fact, it was love at first sight. I saw her, she saw me and, we saw stars. From that point on, everything was aligned.

What were the qualities you saw in her that made you know she is the one?

Ask every single man that is married, they will tell you the same thing. It is the same qualities that everybody wants.

So what are those qualities?

To be honest, I do not want to talk about my personal life. My wife is my baby and I cherish her a lot. If I start giving you all the secrets, people may want to snatch her from me.

Even if you do not tell us all, just give us a sneak peek…

The truth is I work really hard all the time, and a lot of the people I dated in the past used to complain that I did not devote time to them. But now, I have found my better-half who works as hard as I do, so it is a perfect combination, and the world is in trouble because we are the perfect team.

As I am playing music, she is making me laugh. We have the perfect synergy, and what we are working on right now will blow people’s minds away.

I want to advise people in the entertainment industry to go and look for their better-half within the same industry, because it will give you more focus and direction.
