Psquare’s Peter Okoye and Lola Omotayo have both stayed together and struggled it out against all odds.
The couple who dated for about eight years before tying the knot in November 2013 have been plagued with controversies and rumours, the most potent of which is the huge age difference between Lola and Peter.
Lola while explaining how they both got together said: “My agency handles some of British American Tobacco brands and P’Square was doing a show for us at one of our events in Enugu. Though I had met Peter a couple of times before then, at the show there was some chemistry.
He asked for my number and I refused giving it to him. I told him ‘if you really want to know me, you have to find my number’. So he took it as a task and found my number and the rest is history.”
Speaking on why the age difference didn’t matter to her, Lola said: “Like I said, Peter is an old soul and he always tells me that I’m like a 23-year-old. Age is just a number. Right now, you can see it around the world. Demi Moore, Usher and some known people. Even in Nigeria here, they are dating people far older than their age. So, we shouldn’t base it on the age factor. He doesn’t make me feel like he’s younger than me.”
