Nigerian born and British-based Metropolitan Police officer, Khafi Kareem has revealed how its been like since she married her former reality TV star mate Gedoni who they both met while on the BBNaija 2019 show and have since gone on getting married. Though the couple couldn’t get married immediately and spent a large chunk of 2020 apart due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Khafi kareem and Gedoni

In an interview with Allure Vanguard, she recalls what first attracted her to Gedoni? Was it love at first sight?

Hear her,

“We had eyes on each other quite early. What first attracted me to him was his calmness and his centredness. He was just like an anchor in a crazy ocean that was the BBNaija house. It wasn’t love at first sight but I would say it was love at first (near) eviction which we both went through together. I had been holding back from allowing myself to like him too much up until that point. But when we both survived the eviction, it was then that I thought okay, God wants me to do this journey with this guy. At the time I thought it was the journey of the house, I didn’t realise it would be the journey of life that we would end up doing together!”

Asked the challenges they both face to make it to marriage, Khafi said, ‘The main challenge was the pandemic which a lot of people have also faced. We weren’t able to do an actual wedding ceremony like we wanted but I do hope we’ll be able to do it in the future once Corona is gone, and our families and friends can travel again. I do also hope however that we would be able to inspire others who perhaps, were pausing getting married because of the pandemic.
We have to ask ourselves: who are you getting married for, what is the reason you are getting married? Is it for your family and friends or is it for you and your spouse to be? Once you clarify that, you are able to know that okay, even if we just do the registry or the blessing, then we can still get to celebrate later. Why delay the beginning of forever with your love?”
How does it feel to be in love? Khafi expressed her love side, “It feels incredible to be in love. It is just such a special thing to know that you have your special person with whom you are going to do life together. There is just an anchor that it gives you, especially when your partner is your best friend. The key thing is to know that your partner is human, will make mistakes, will go through ups and downs but that should not shake your love for each other. Also, a partner can never take the place of God in your life and vice versa. So, we would always keep God first. Knowing that I love God first enables me to love him even more and even better and it continues the growth of our love.”
Speaking on her romantic nature, the reality Tv star girl Khafi said, “I try to be but I think my idea of romance is probably a bit different. I love being romanced and spoilt with things like, going out for dinner, receiving flowers because I’m a very girly girl. But in regards to being romantic for my husband, I do like to get things done and give him a treat too. We all have different love languages. For example, my love languages include words of affirmation and spending quality time with each other. So, I find being given those things romantic and I express romance in those ways too. But one of my husbands way of expressing love is through gifts; so I truly sorcière when he gives me a gift, and I express my love back through gifts. That’s my idea of romance, speaking each other’s love language.”
