Look how far we have come baby. It’s your birthday today and so the world celebrates you.

She said, “Babeski babeski sebi C2 you want to make me cry? What will I do without you? In good times and in all times darling. Love you forever babe. I love you”.
After the surprise birthday party organised for Peggy, the actor went down on his knees to propose like a gentle man, while friends and family members hanged around to celebrate them.

I have watched you grow, blossom and keep to those promises.
It’s not been a rosy road. This man right here: For the first time, I don’t know what to say to you but thank you for loving this stubborn girl hopelessly.

Responding to the message, the star actor wrote, “I loved you from the moment I laid my eyes on you, I still love you now. Remember always, that in good times and in all times. I will love you forever! Mrs. Leonard”.
Their wedding hastag, “Meettheleonards” is already trending.
Many have also wondered why Frederick chose Peggy, out of the many Nollywood actresses dying to settle down with him.
Peggy is not just a pretty face but a combination of beauty and brains. She is one of the few actresses who have been able to stay off scandals despite their success in the industry.
She is humble, simple, hardworking and down-to-earth.
Popularly known as Ego Oyibo, Peggy is an actress, model, movie producer and fashion entrepreneur. She was crowned the winner of the Most Beautiful Girl on Campus 2003 in Delta State University.
In 2006, she was also the winner of the Miss Nigeria Galaxy Beauty Pageant. Besides acting, she owns a boutique called Hubs Contoure in Lagos, where she sells clothes.
She is also the CEO of Peggy’s World.
She started acting in 2013 when she starred a film directed by Uche Nancy. She rose to limelight in 2015 following her appearance in the series titled, “Husbands Of Lagos” by Rok Studios. She has also featured in over 150 movies and produced movies such as “Emergency”, “Game Changer”, amongst others.
She hails from Ughelli in Delta State and holds a Banking and Finance degree from Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State.
As an actress, Peggy has done well for herself. Today, she remains one of the most successful actresses in the industry. She has also made money from her business endeavours. There is no doubt that this beautiful couple will complement each other.
Peggy once revealed what she wants from her ideal husband. She stated clearly that she can’t marry a man who loves to party or spend most of his time outside the house, comes back and expects to meet a “Yes Sir Wife”. She said a man who spends on her without giving her due regard is a major turn-off.
She further stated that she would rather settle down for an average hardworking man who has prospects and ambition in life. Riches is not a major criteria for her as anyone can be rich. And that she wants a man who will respect, love, and care for her as a person and not as an ex-beauty queen or celebrity.
Frederick is no doubt one of the finest actors in the industry and he nails all his roles. He is also one actor many have been pressurising to settle down. Like Peggy, he has also stated clearly that he will only marry to a woman who will love him sincerely, respect him unconditionally, and accept him for who he is, not what he is.
He further stated that he does not have any particular specification for a lady. She could be rich or poor, tall or short, white or black, ugly or beautiful. His only critieria is that she must be hardworking, God-fearing, humble and respectful.
From what the two movie stars have written as their desires for life partners, they both meet each other’s expectations.
And for many who don’t know much about this couple, they have been together for over a decade.
They started off as friends and colleagues in the industry. Producers often featured them as couple in movies. Our source said they started dating officially in 2015, and one thing led to the other, and they broke up but still remained good friends. They rekindled their love along the line and eventually got engaged.
When they started dating in 2015, it was not hard to tell they were in love. They were all over each other on social media and in real life. Unfortunately, the relationship did not last. Reasons for the breakup were unknown. But the split became official when they bumped into each other and Peggy posted on her Snapchat that she bumped into her ex who happens to be Frederick Leonard.
Over the years, Frederick has been associated with a lot of beautiful women who seemed to be a perfect fit for him but with time, they will end up getting separated or it might turn out to be just rumour.
The multi-award winning actor was only being careful as marriage is a life-time affair and any mistake will be detrimental to himself and his career. Eventually, he decided to settle down with his best friend of many years.
Frederick Leonard is an actor, producer, model, and television personality. He is known for his good looks, creativity, and versatility. He is also gifted and very good at interpreting roles.
He is from Nnewi in Amambra State and he is in his late 40s. He is a graduate of Biochemistry from Kaduna State Polytechnic. He started acting in 2008. He is the CEO of Cineworx Entertainment. His appearance in the movie titled, “Indian Doctor” and series titled, “Disclosure” shot him to limelight. He is one of the finest faces in the movie industry.
