A Few weeks ago, Star Actress, Tayo Sobola, popularly called Sotayo Gaga, joined the list of celebrities who have walked down the aisle with their hearthrobs. Unknown to many, she had a secret wedding and kept the event away from the prying eyes of the public, including her colleagues in the industry 7 months ago.
Social media was agog to hear about the wedding when the pretty actress posted photos of herself in a white bridal gown and thanked her make-up artistes and bridal vendor for making her look stunning.
In her post, “Okay, this is not today. I only just decided to post it today. Thanks everyone for the messages and prayers. God bless you. @tshakky x @lacharisnigeria and @hairbysleame thanks a million.”
Many of her colleagues in the movie industry wished her well and also celebrated her on their respective social media pages. The likes of popular actors, Odunlade Adekola, Mercy Aigbe, Toyin Adewale, Wumi Toriola, Yetunde Bakere and host of others felicitated with her.
However, some industry insiders claimed it may be a hoax and that the actress may not have gotten married after all since Sotayo is naturally playful. At that time every attempt to get her to respond proved abortive, as several calls put through to the actress were not answered.
But on Sunday March, 2021, the beautiful actress, Sotayo unveiled her new collection at the prestigious Radisson Blu, tagged “Fashion/Media Exhibition for CLEANSTITCHES, an event strictly for the media, while answering different questions from the media, the big question popped up on why she kept her marriage secret.
Her response, “For those that know me very well, I mean those that are very close to me will tell you that I’m one person that likes my privacy. I love and respect my personal life a lot. Aside that, it was a mutual agreement between my husband and I to keep it a secret. I’ve been with my husband for the past 7years. Yes, we just got married but it wasn’t anyway close to the day I posted it online. I know my husband and my husband knows me, so let’s leave it like that. Many times, I’ll read funny stories online. I’ll read so many comments and be like, where is this coming from? (Laughs).
