Nigerian singer and politician Bankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W, has given a heartfelt lifetime assurance to his beautiful wife, actress Adesua Etomi, as she celebrates her birthday.
In an Instagram post, he noted how people change and evolve into different versions of themselves over time, but the prayer is that as lovers evolve, they should be just as into each other as they were when they first met.
Banky noted how it has been 8 years of being with Adesua and their 8th year is his best. He stated that he has watched her grow and can’t wait for the world to see her shine. Banky promised that no matter what the future holds for them, he is hers and she is his.
The fact is that People change; we evolve into different versions of ourselves over time.
The prayer is that as you and your partner grow, your love remains just as strong as when you first met.
Susu, Year 8 has been our best year yet.
I’ve watched you blossom, and I can’t wait for the world to witness your shine.
No matter what the future holds, I’m yours, and you’re mine.”** – Banky W’s heartfelt message to Adesua Etomi on her birthday.
Happy birthday, baby.
I’ll be by your side until you’re 80.
Then, we’ll have to negotiate with God about eternity”
Late last year, Banky W and Adesua Etomi celebrated their 7th wedding anniversary. Banky marked the occasion by sharing a heartfelt video capturing their journey together, expressing gratitude to Adesua for choosing him. He also reflected on his initial nervousness about becoming a husband and father. Adesua, in her usual graceful manner, kept her message simple, reaffirming her love for him.
In October, the couple announced they were expecting their second child. In a joint Instagram post, they shared Adesua’s maternity photos, celebrating their growing family. The announcement carried a touching message: first, they had each other, then their son, and now, they were preparing to welcome another bundle of joy.
Shortly after, Banky W revealed that they had welcomed their second child, a baby boy. Sharing a glimpse into his new reality, he posted a video of himself cooking and tending to the family, emphasizing that marriage is about giving 100-100, not 50-50. He humorously listed his new roles—chef, housekeeper, homework tutor, and masseuse—since Adesua gave birth.
However, in 2023, their marriage faced a turbulent moment when infidelity rumors surfaced. A blogger alleged that Banky W had cheated on Adesua and impregnated another woman, believed to be singer Niyola, a former signee of his record label. The report further claimed that he had asked her to terminate the pregnancy, but she refused.
Addressing the allegations, Banky W spoke during a church service, describing it as an attack on his character. He expressed deep appreciation for his wife, stating that he would forever be grateful to God for her, and even joked about how much time he spends on the phone with her.
Through it all, the couple has continued to demonstrate resilience, love, and commitment, proving that their bond remains strong despite challenges.
