Nollywood actress Anita Joseph, better known as Mother Hen, recently opened up about her marriage to comedian Fisayo Michael Olagunju, better known as MC Fish. She recalled how she knew they were meant to be together from the start, and shared the special bond she has with her mother-in-law. In the interview, she said: “I knew we were going to get married during our first year of being together. We were always talking about the future. Whenever a man talks about the future of his partner all the time, that shows that he is seeing the partner in the future. I realised that he always spoke about what we would do in the next 10, 20 and 30 years. When I visualised it, I realised that I also saw him in my future, too. That was when it really struck me that we were eventually going to get married. But, I kept praying about it as well to get God’s backing. In whatever decision I make, I pray; prayers guide me a lot.”
Anita Joseph also spoke fondly of her wedding day, saying she was overwhelmed by the love between her family and her husband’s family. She said: “I enjoyed mostly the acceptance and the love between my family and my husband’s family. My mother-in-law loves me so much and I love her too. It was so beautiful and overwhelming.” She went on to describe her husband as kind, respectful, and loving.
The actress also discussed how she balances her career and home life, saying: “I balance my career and home by prioritising my time. There is time for everything. I give my home my time because my home needs me now more than my career. I have been doing this job for a very long time, and by God’s grace, I have been successful in my career. I am known all over the continent; I am not a beginner anymore. I devote more time to my home than my career now. My marriage is just three years old and needs building as well. It has been beautiful. When it is time to be home, I am fully home. I don’t bring work home. No, I don’t.”
