'My Wife Knows About My Relationship With Juliet Ibrahim' - Yemi Blaq
Yemi Blaq in a new interview with Vanguard has revealed the
relationship between himself and Ghanaian top actress, Juliet Ibrahim. He also
said his wife, Remi Blaq knows fully well what’s happening between them, and
she’s very much okay with it. When asked if he would have married the actress,
if he wasn’t married, Yemi said Yes, he would, but it’s unfortunate he is
married now, while also hinting he has a good wife.
You have a very close relationship with Juliet Ibrahim, how
does your wife react to that?
She’s okay with it. My wife is a professional through and
through. When we were shooting ‘The Distance Between’, my wife wrote the
script. She wrote my character to have a romantic relationship with both Rita
Dominic and Mercy Johnson. She was on set while we were shooting and after
doing a kissing scene with Mercy Johnson, my wife called me aside and said
“That kiss is not real. You need to make it real”.
She knows that as long as I’m on set, it’s my job and I’m
doing the kissing not because I’m enjoying a kiss from a woman, but because
it’s the character doing the kissing, not me. If I kiss a girl outside the set,
I’ll have a lot of questions to answer. She knows about me and Juliet.
Was it movies that brought Juliet Ibrahim and you together?
Yes. The funny thing is I’ve heard about her, seen her and
the first time we really had time to relate was when we shot the movie ‘
Corporate Operations’ with Alex Mouth in Abuja, but there was no time to bond.
Shortly after that, she called me while she was in Ghana and there was this
movie we were shooting ‘Number One Fan’, starring myself and her.
I went over to Ghana for the movie and that was where we
really had the chance to bond. I knew her real person behind the screen, she’s
nice, hardworking, dedicated and focused and those are the qualities I
appreciate in a human being. We are still friends till today. I was at her
birthday party sometime ago in Lagos and we had a great time partying all night
long. Once again, my wife knows about it.
If you weren’t already married, would you have married
Juliet; is she your kind of person?
Yes, she’s my kind of person. She’s smart, dedicated, but
it’s a pity I’m not single. It’s a great thing I met my wife first and if you
ask me, ‘If I had to do it all over again, would I change anything?’. I’d tell
you it’s nice to be with someone with whom everyday is a new day with its own
challenges, rewards and beauty. My wife is creative, crazy, lovable and she’s
my love.
