I friend-zoned my husband for a year and half – Adesuwa Etomi

Nigerian Actress, Adesuwa Etomi has expressed that she ”friend-zoned” her husband, Bankole Welington popularly known as Banky W for a year and a half before agreeing to his proposal of marriage. The actress shared this revelation during a service at the Waterbrooks Church in Lagos on a Sunday. She mentioned that one of the factors leading to her decision of “friend-zoning” him was the absence of a clear direction from God during that period.

According to her; “I would like to say that friendship plays a very big role in laying the foundation of your relationship. I friend-zoned my husband for a year and half [laughs].

“I friend-zoned him for two reasons. One, I wasn’t sure that I have heard from God about whether this person was actually my person. Actually, three reasons. Second, marrying Banky W [laughs]. I was like, ‘my life on my own is chaotic enough, I would now marry Banky? No, no, no.’

“And then thirdly, just trying to at least have a friendship. And I honestly believe that the friendship we laid over a year and half has played a very big role in how our relationship is today. Banky W is my guy. I mean if you take away romance and sex and everything that makes a marriage, he would still be my guy. Banky is my best friend.”

Banky W inferred: “No, leave sex. Don’t take it away [laughs].”
