Annie Idibia has disclosed in a
recent interview that she does not want to be identified as just her husband,
2Face Idibia’s wife.
The award-winning Nollywood
actress revealed that she would rather be called by her name instead of her
identity being attached to her husband’s status.
In the said interview, the mother
of two also spoke about her career and marriage. Read excerpts below:
“This year started for me quite
tough. I spent the first three months of this year in the hospital with my
father because he had been sick for a while but God has been great and I am
grateful. I am actually closer to my mother than my father because she raised
us single-handedly. My father is still my father and since he was sick we had
to rally round him.
Growing up with only my mother
really affected my life and I suffered and I do not ever want my children to
face the agony of not having both parents together because it was so hard for
us. Even right now, the way the world is, children are more enlightened than we
were in our days, so the pressure would be harder on the kids from broken homes
right now. I do not want my children to ever experience that.”
On her career and how she would
love to be addressed, she said,
“I took a break from my career
because after I got married, I got pregnant so I had a baby and had to get used
to the new life. I think I did not do any movie for about three years. Being
addressed as Tubaba’s wife instead of Annie the actress has been a problem that
I have been trying to work on for a long time.
I want to believe that I have
successfully been able to identify and differentiate my brand as Annie Idibia
the actress/career woman and Annie Idibia the wife/mother. I prefer being
addressed as Annie and not Tubaba’s wife. I hate this because I am my own
person and have worked hard to build my career and brand. I should be
identified and respected on that basis.”
It would be recalled that Annie
was one of the video vixens that appeared in 2Face’s classic song, “African
Queen”. The duo dated on and off for years with 2Face fathering children from
two other women before he finally tied the knot with Annie in 2012. The couple has
been going strong ever since and from time to time, display their affection for
each other on social media.
Annie once revealed in a social
media post that she would like to die shortly after 2Face dies because she
cannot imagine a world without him.
