Valentine's Day: 5 Nigerian celebrities that still make us believe in love

Once or twice in the past few months, you must have heard that another of your favourite celebrity couple have broken up, divorced, or aired their dirty linen on the streets of social media.

As a result of these constant stories that bombard the media, some people might wonder if love is truly a thing.

Fortunately, there are others whose steady love stories continue to strengthen our faith in the concept.

For Valentine's Day, the Pulse Celebrity Desk takes a look at five celebs who have rekindled our interest in love:

Joke Silva and Olu Jacobs

The greatest test of any relationship is overcoming temptations and challenges, and this union has faced both and triumphed. As such, the marriage of these two veteran Nollywood actors is nothing short of inspiring.

Having been married for over 35 years, they are arguably Nollywood’s oldest power couple.

Olu Jacobs and his beautiful wife, Joke Silva, met in 1981 at the National Theatre in Lagos during the 21st Independent Anniversary.

Simi and Adekunle Gold

Simi and Adekunle are great to keep up with on social media as they often comment on each other's posts in a cute and playful manner; taking subtle jabs at each other and having fun while at it.

Their love life has gotten more interesting to follow since they welcomed their daughter Deja in 2020, when Simi sang the hit song ‘Duduke.’
