These lovebirds were one of the sweet shock that happened to the Nigerian entertainment a year ago. With rumors hovering around them about other women interfering in their lovelife, coupled with Tuface’s other children from other women, many didn’t think anything good could come out of their ‘zion’. Today, life couldn’t be sweeter for these two. They are both growing in love each day, solving their issues privately and many more. They have two kids.
