She said in a chat with NollyNow that marriage and motherhood have taught her things she never knew before. She said "Marriage has made me a better person; more responsible and focused person. I don’t just do things again because I want to do them. Any decision I’m taking now I will ensure it benefits those around me. Marriage also has made me be more hard-working. If I were not married perhaps, I wouldn’t have been able to think of establishing my clothing line. I would have been jumping from one movie set to another. But now, I'm thinking about the future of my children".
