I Friend-zoned My Husband For Over One Year Adesua Etomi – Nollywood actress, Adesua Etomi-Wellington, has revealed that she “friend-zoned” her husband, singer Bankole Wellington, known as Banky W, for a year and a half before finally accepting his marriage proposal. The thespian spoke during service at the Water brooks Church, Lagos, on Sunday.
She said one of the reasons she “friend-zoned” him was because she had not heard from God at that time.
She said, “I would like to say that friendship plays a very big role in laying the foundation of your relationship. I friend-zoned my husband for a year and half [laughs].
“I friend-zoned him for two reasons. One, I wasn’t sure that I have heard from God about whether this person was actually my person. Actually, three reasons. Second, marrying Banky W [laughs]. I was like, ‘my life on my own is chaotic enough, I would now marry Banky? No, no, no.’ “And then thirdly, just trying to at least have a friendship.
And I honestly believe that the friendship we laid over a year and half has played a very big role in how our relationship is today. Banky W is my guy.
I mean if you take away romance and sex and everything that makes a marriage, he would still be my guy. Banky is my best friend.”
