Nollywood actress Staphnie Okereke Linus has offered a refreshing perspective on marital privacy.
She recently opened up about the simple secret that has helped her protect her relationship for over a decade keeping her love life away from the spotlight.
The actress, who tied the knot with her husband, Linus, in 2012, revealed that their private wedding was held in Paris with only close family members present.
According to her, the decision to keep their union small and quiet wasn’t just for style but for peace.
“I had a private wedding in 2012 with my husband, Linus, in Paris. We kept it small and quiet and I’ve kept it that way ever since,” she shared.
This heartfelt revelation has resonated with many fans and couples online, especially at a time when social media tends to put relationships on full display.
Moreover, Okereke emphasized how her difficult childhood influenced her present lifestyle.
“My early life was tough, and I learned the hard way that not everyone should know your story,” she noted. “That’s why I keep my marriage and family life away from the public eye. It’s peaceful that way.”
The mother of two explained that only her most trusted circle, including her sibling and mother-in-law, are aware of her private life in full.
This deliberate boundary has not only given her emotional peace but has also created a firm foundation for her family.
Meanwhile, the actress recently celebrated a major milestone 14 years of marriage.
“In 2025, we marked 14 beautiful years together. I posted a pre-wedding video for the first time it felt right,” she said.
According to Okereke, her marriage has thrived not because it’s perfect, but because it has been shielded from unnecessary public noise.
“Just a little reminder that love, when protected, lasts,” she concluded.
Her words carry a powerful lesson for couples, particularly those in the spotlight or social media space.
