Pre-Wedding Agreement Laid Foundation for 11-Year Marriage
Nollywood actor Nosa Rex Okunzuwa, popularly known as Baba Rex, has revealed that the secret behind his 11-year marriage lies in conversations he and his wife had long before their wedding. Speaking with movie producer Seun Oloketuyi on the Nollywood on Radio podcast aired on YouTube on July 17, the actor explained that he and his wife, Deborah Raphael Nwokocha, had candid discussions about the entertainment industry's notoriously high rate of marital breakdown before their wedding in August 2015.
Rules Established Before Vows
According to Baba Rex, those early conversations shaped the rules they still live by today. He stated: "I told my wife that I would not misbehave. I told her that she should allow me to ball. If she is travelling, she should allow me to also travel. When we go to the club, I will come back early." This agreement, built on mutual trust and understanding, has been the cornerstone of their marriage.
Transparency as a Daily Practice
Beyond the initial agreement, Baba Rex emphasized that ongoing transparency has been the glue holding things together. He makes a point of keeping his wife informed about everything he does professionally, right down to showing her photos before they go live online. More strikingly, Nosa Rex revealed that his wife sometimes steps behind the camera to film some of his more provocative content herself, a practice he credits with eliminating any room for suspicion or misunderstanding.
"There is nothing that I do in the industry that I do not tell my wife. Anything you see me do online, I will tell my wife. I even show her pictures before posting. It works for me. I know the kind of person my wife is. She just wants to know what I do. Some of my content that you see online is shot by my wife. That is why I have been able to manage it," he said. The actor added that his approach has also shaped his social circle, noting that most of his female associates are on good terms with his wife.
Creative Differentiation Behind Sexually Themed Content
Baba Rex also addressed the controversy that sometimes surrounds his choice of material online, saying the motivation has always been creative differentiation rather than provocation. "We are in a field where we have several talented people. I just wanted to stand out from the crowd. I did not just want to be an actor. I knew some people would frown at it, but I enjoy doing it. These are slang that I created for myself because of the algorithm," he explained.
The actor was full of praise for his wife throughout the interview, describing her as a blessing and crediting her support as a major factor in his career stability. "I have a very supportive wife. God gave me a blessing to call a wife," he said.
