6 Female Celebrities Who Married Younger Men

Age is but a number.

We all like what we like and what every individual person likes is different from what the next person likes. It is one of the most beautiful and interesting things about human beings and something I find forever interesting. How me and my friends have COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TASTES when it comes to who we find attractive and who we date is always something that’s so fascinating to me.

In culture today, especially in Nigerian culture, it is customary when it comes to marriages for the man to be older than woman. I say in Nigerian culture because it is what I’m most aware of but even from my time in America as well as from foreign television and media, it is evident that this custom goes far beyond the borders of Nigeria and seems to be a worldwide thing. Till this day, many women – even many of my friends say that they would not pay a guy any attention if she they are older than he is.

But someone do. More than do, some women go ahead to not only date these younger men, and of these ones that date, a couple of them get married. Today, we’ll be counting down 7 Female Nigerian Celebrities Who Married Younger Men. Are you ready to count down with me? Then let’s go!

3. Queen Ure

Once upon a time before their eventual split, Queen Ure and Nigerian singer Soul E popular known as Soul E Baba were married. The difference in age between the two is quite hefty – a whooping 11 year difference between Queen Ure and Soul E.

5. Praise’s Wife

While we do not know her name, this woman is very popular in Nigeria.

Big Brother Naija contestant Praise Nelson famously made headlines when news broke that his wife is significantly older than he is. On the show, fellow housemate Brighto alleged that Praise’s wife was 60 years old however after leaving the house, Praise, the 28 year old housemate revealed that his wife is not 60 years but 42 years old. That means there is a FOURTEEN year difference between the couple. Despite this, the BBNaija reality star insists that they’re both perfectly happy.

6. Deola Ayeni

Darey Art Alade and his wife Deola Ayeni have been happily married for over 10 years and are blessed with kids. What many people don’t know though is that Darey’s wife Deola is actually EIGHT years older than the singer.
