Speaking with Sun News, former beauty queen and Joseph Yobo's wife, Adaeze Igwe Yobo, opened up on how they met, how fast they got married, and the joys motherhood. Read below....

      How did you meet your husband?
       I met him in Nigeria through a friend
       at an event. From there, we became
       close friends. I became pregnant and
       we got married immediately.
       Everything happened in a very short
       time. A lot of people thought it wasn’t
       going to work but at that moment, I
       knew I felt something I had never felt
       with anyone in my life and I said to
       myself, why not take that chance? I’m
       quite prayerful , so I knew there’s no
       way I could err, though I never
       planned getting married so early. I
       had so many dreams of what I wanted
       in life. Marriage was the last thing on
       my mind. It happened so fast and I
       thought I should give it a shot......

       So, what attracted you to him?
       When we first met, I didn’t know who
       he was really. He didn’t know that I
       was the most beautiful girl in Nigeria.
       When I knew he was a footballer, I
       said to myself this relationship might
       not work or lead us anywhere,
       because of the lifestyle of some
       footballers who have so many
       girlfriends.

       Do you regret marrying him?
       Not at all. No marriage can ever be
       perfect. Even my relationship with my
       mum can never be perfect. I have
       never regretted any moment with my
       husband and I always say to my
       sisters and cousins that I don’t know
       what I could have been without my
       husband. I wondered the kind of man
       I would have ended up with if I didn’t
       marry him. I thank God that He
       planned my life and I’m living the life
       He planned for me. God has been
       gracious to me in every way.

       When exactly did you leave Nigeria?
       As soon as I met my husband, I left
       the shores of Nigeria for further
       studies. I went to New York. I got
       married in 2009 and in 2010, I had my
       son.

      What do you miss about Nigeria?
       I have been coming for Christmas. I
       usually spend two weeks
       intermittently in Nigeria and return ,
       because I’m in school. I’m studying
       New Media in Turkey. I miss Nigeria a
       lot because of fashion and music
       back home.
 
       What’s it like being a mother?
       It’s been a wonderful experience
       being mother to this wonderful son of
       mine. When the little boy came out
       from my body, I discovered that he’s
       my first real love. I thought I was in
       love with my husband not until I saw
       my son. I have never loved somebody
       that much in my life.
