Renowned content creator Bukunmi Adeaga Ilori aka KieKie has said she was a live-in girlfriend before she got married to Tunji Ilori.
She said she made the decision because her house rent expired months before their wedding and saw no reason to renew it.
The mother of one disclosed this while featuring as a guest in the latest episode of the TokeMoments podcast hosted by Toke Makinwa.
She said: “My husband and I started living together before we got married because my [house] rent was already due. My rent was due in September, and we were going to get married in January. So, I can’t renew my rent. And we had done our introduction by then. The church wasn’t aware that we were already living together. I was even singing in the church choir then.”
She said she was initially scared of getting married but eventually did after a series of prayers.
Kie Kie and Tunji got married in February 2020 and welcomed their first child in November 2022. (Nation)
