How would I choose one? Wow. First and foremost, he\u2019s my best friend. That\u2019s my person. And I think when you meet your person, you just know. I can\u2019t imagine spending the rest of my life with anybody else. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s the person I\u2019m excited to spend every day with, to build our lives together, to work through ups and downs, celebrate together, and solve problems together.

We\u2019re just excited for what\u2019s to come,\u201d Temi disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>The actress and fashion creative also touched on why she and Mr Eazi chose to move silently through their love story, keeping their courtship, engagement, and marriage under wraps until they were ready to share. <\/p>\n<p>According to her, it was less about secrecy and more about control.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghanaweb.com\/GhanaHomePage\/entertainment\/See-beautiful-pictures-from-the-marriage-ceremonies-of-Mr-Eazi-and-Temi-Otedola-1999476\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">See beautiful pictures from the marriage &#8216;ceremonies&#8217; of Mr Eazi and Temi Otedola<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not necessarily about privacy. For me, it\u2019s more about owning your own narrative. Moving in silence allows you to have a certain level of control over things. It lets you build the story you want and share it on your own terms, when you\u2019re ready, how you want, and in the way you choose. That\u2019s why, whether it\u2019s work or personal news, I share in my own time,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en\">\u201cWhat made you say YES to Mr. Eazi?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Temi Ajibade: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kWReGZlz1g\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/kWReGZlz1g<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 @\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddf7\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddef\ud835\uddf9\ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude00\ud835\ude00\ud835\uddef\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude06 (@OneJoblessBoy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OneJoblessBoy\/status\/1973403841216348386?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">October 1, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Watch as Ghanaians share their favorite Highlife tunes<\/p>\n<p>AK\/AE<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Temi Otedola and Mr Eazi held their wedding across three different countries When Temi Otedola walked down the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":51543,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[458,146,85,46],"class_list":["post-51542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51542","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51542"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51542\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
