Nollywood veteran Joke Silva has given fans a rare look into her private life, reflecting on her decades-long union with her husband, Olu Jacobs.
Despite being one of Nigeria's most famous couples, she admitted their romance didn't start the same way for both of them.
When they first met on a stage set, Olu Jacobs was instantly smitten. Joke, on the other hand, says she didn't fall in love immediately—it took time for her to see him as more than a colleague.
Joke shared that she didn't even know Olu's age when they started dating because he "looked so good" and took such great care of himself.
She noted that the age difference worked in their favor, explaining that older men often provide a level of understanding and freedom that younger men might not.
Having been together for nearly 40 years, the couple continues to be a symbol of stability and true love in the Nigerian entertainment world.
