Despite his career heights in acting, Mike Ezuruonye has managed to keep his marriage afloat for over a decade, without scandals and claims of unfaithfulness. The Nollywood star, who met his wife six years after joining the industry, is one of the few Nigerian actors who got married at a young age. Sometime in the past, rumors started peddling that Mike’s wife gave birth to an albino daughter, and he was on the verge of divorcing her. However, that has not been authenticated by the actor.

Beyond that, one of the misconceptions people have about the actor’s personality is that he is a playboy and a woman beater. However, in an interview with Punch, Mike explains that those ideas only came from his interpretations of movie roles, and so people shouldn’t judge him by the characters he plays in movies. He further explains that he has a humble and playful personality and can relate with everybody equally, no matter their status. Here are facts you need to know about his family, wife, and children.

Mike Ezuruonye Has Been Married For 12 Years

From the moment he made an appearance on the movie scene, Mike Ezuruonye quickly became a heartthrob to many fans of the opposite sex. Additionally, his looks and ways of interpreting movie roles endeared him to some of his female fans. However, he did not let this stop him from focusing on his career and waiting till the right time when he would meet the love of his life. Eventually, this came to reality in 2009 when he went to Abuja to shoot a movie.

It happened then that Keke, the Canadian-based psychologist, came back to Nigeria and was present at the movie location. They became friends at the moment, and according to Mike, immediately he saw Nkechi, he knew that they are meant to be together. Hence, it did not take them so long after they met to tie the knot. After a few months of dating, Mike and Nkechi became a couple in November 2010.
