Actress and skit maker Oluwabukunmi Adeaga-Ilori, popularly known as KieKie, has revealed that she lived with her husband for four months before their wedding to avoid paying another year’s rent.
Speaking in an interview with Toke Makinwa, KieKie explained that the decision was purely practical.
She said the couple had already completed their traditional rites and were preparing for their white wedding scheduled for January when her rent expired.
Rather than renew her lease, she chose to move in with her husband.
KieKie acknowledged that the decision might attract criticism but insisted she was being financially sensible.
She also disclosed that her church was unaware of the arrangement at the time, even though she was actively involved in singing.
“Before my husband and I got married, we lived together for about four months. My rent had expired, and we were getting married in January, so I said to myself, ‘Why pay another rent?’ People might judge it, but I wasn’t going to waste money. We’d already done our introduction. The church didn’t know about it, and I used to sing in church at that time,” she said.
