Temi Otedola: I Can’t Imagine Life With Anyone Else But Mr Eazi

Actress Temi Otedola, daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, has opened up on why she tied the knot with Nigerian singer Mr Eazi, describing him as her “best friend” and “life partner.”

Temi spoke in a recent interview with the BBC, weeks after the couple’s private wedding in Iceland, which had American music star John Legend in attendance.

Asked why she agreed to marry Mr Eazi, Temi said she couldn’t imagine spending the rest of her life with anyone else.

“There’s too many [reasons]. How will I choose one? I mean, first and foremost, he is my best friend. That’s my person. And I think when you meet your person, you know. I can’t imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone else,” she said.

The actress added that her bond with Mr Eazi goes beyond romance.

“He is the person I’m excited and can just spend everyday with; build our lives together and walk through our ups and downs together and celebrate together and solve problems together. He’s simply my person. So, we are just excited for what is to come.”

Temi also explained why she chose to adopt her husband’s surname after their wedding.

“I’m now a married woman, the obvious thing for me is to take my husband’s name. But it’s my personal choice. I also respect a woman’s ability to choose,” she said.

The Nollywood star stressed that she deliberately keeps her relationship out of the spotlight, saying privacy helps her maintain control over her personal narrative.

Temi and Mr Eazi had been in a relationship for several years before officially tying the knot in Iceland. Their wedding, which attracted global attention, was one of the most talked-about celebrity unions of 2025.
