Kingsley Sule, popularly known as Kellyrae, the winner of the recently concluded Big Brother Naija season nine, has opened up about how he met his wife, Kassia Ubani-Sule.
In an interview on Arise 360, Kellyrae revealed the fascinating story of their encounter, attributing their union to fate.
“I think everything is just divine. I didn’t know Kassia; it was her eldest sister, who was my friend. The sister, who happened to be a producer, was the connection. I had been into acting for a while, and she (Kassia’s sister) wanted to produce a movie with one of the locations being their family house,” Kellyrae said.
“I had been hearing that my friend had this beautiful sister (Kassia), but I also heard she liked to act a bit difficult with guys. One day, after we finished shooting, I was in the sitting room waiting for her. I was told she went to her father’s shop. When she returned, no matter how difficult she acted, I couldn’t help but notice how beautiful she was. I thought, ‘Okay, the girl is fine.’ Honestly, the first time meeting her, I begged for her number.”
“She was the type who didn’t have much time and only spoke to her friends. I tried to chat with her, but eventually, she stopped responding. I started begging for reasons I didn’t even understand. I apologised if I had said anything wrong, and after about a year, we officially started dating.”
After about 10 years of dating, Kellyrae and Kassia got married on February 3rd, 2024 and they became the first married couple to compete on BBNaija. Kellyrae also stated that he wasn’t really financially stable before they got married.
He said, “Before our marriage, I won’t lie to you–before tying the knot, I wasn’t financially ready to be a married man. It’s not that I didn’t have money for a wedding or to do something small, but I wanted to ensure I could provide well for myself and cater for my wife and any future kids. However, I was mentally ready, and at some point, I thought, ‘Let’s go into the house.’ I didn’t realise I was living out God’s plan. Now, another honeymoon is coming.
Kellyrae, who won ₦100 million in prizes, shared that he and Kassia initially formed the musical duo, Doublekay, before their relationship blossomed. He also said that during the early days of their relationship, he felt unworthy of Kassia’s love.
Kellyrae’s love story with Kassia has captivated fans, showcasing the power of true love.
