‘We have a lot of similarities’ – Adjetey Anang’s wife shares secret to her marriage
The union between actor Adjetey Anang (Pusher) and his beautiful wife, Elom Anang, is one celebrity marriage that has stood the test of time.
The couple, who are celebrating 10 years of their wedding anniversary, shared their secret to a lasting marriage.
Elom, a former actress who featured in the popular TV series Things We Do For Love, said she shares the same passion as her husband.
“We have common interests. We have a lot in common, which keeps our relationship alive. We have shared passion and chat about anything and everything we share in common, so there is no dull moment.
“When you have shared passion, things are a lot easier because nobody will ask you why you are returning from location at 4 a.m. or why you do what you do. Praye Tietia and his wife, Selly Ghalley, have shared passion; they are both in showbiz, so it makes it a lot easier.
“Okyeame Kwame’s wife Anica is not really a showbiz person, but she understands the terrain, and that makes it easier for them to get along. If there are no shared interests, it becomes a bit difficult as there is often lots of misunderstanding between the couple,” she said.
Explaining how it feels to be married to a celebrity, Elom said, “I think it feels like a normal marriage most of the time. We were friends first before we got into a relationship and then decided to get married”.
It was not all rosy as Elom shared some difficulties she had at the beginning of their marriage.
“In the early years, I didn’t understand the way he acted around people, and I kept saying to myself this is the kind of attention I want, but now I know he can give people all the attention with no strings attached,” she told Graphic Showbiz.
Encouraging people who are married to celebrities, the former actress said, “Be supportive of your partner in whatever they do because they really need your support. As the saying goes, it takes two to tango, and they can’t do it all by themselves, so be there for them.”
