Responding to a question regarding how fast their romance began, JJC Skillz said, "Absolutely, it was an instant connection.
"In fact, it was love at first sight. I saw her,she saw me and, we saw stars. From that point on, everything was aligned.
"She had an idea called Jenifa’s Diary that she wanted to do, and she was looking for a good director and cameraman, so she called me to help her shoot the TV series, and that was how we met."
Before her marriage to JJC Skillz, Akindele had already entered a short-lived relationship with Adeola Kehinde Oloyede.
