Though he always had a huge crush on her, Linda and Ibrahim's relationship started as a supportive friendship. After Ibrahim's mother passed away in 2016, Linda offered him emotional support, even convincing him to stay in Lagos instead of relocating. Ibrahim landed an acting role on the show "Tinsel," where he played Linda's on-screen love interest. Spending time together on set further strengthened their connection, leading Ibrahim to confess his feelings, which were reciprocated.

Simi revealed in a radio interview that Adekunle's initial attempts to connect on Facebook weren't successful. He left messages for her that she didn't see until much later. Ironically, they eventually met in person at a show she was performing and hit it off right away. The rest they say is history.
