“I met my husband years back. I can’t be specific because I’m not good with dates, but he is. It’s been more than five years. Business brought us together since we work in the same field. From business, we became friends, and eventually, we fell in love,” she explained.

The actress also spoke about her decision to keep their relationship private, attributing it to her preference for a low-profile lifestyle.
“I’ve always been a private person. If not for doing this marriage to glorify God, I wouldn’t have posted about it. I wanted to be sure and prayed about it because marriage isn’t easy,” she said.
Umenwa expressed concerns about sharing personal matters on social media, noting the risks of external negativity. “Many people put their marriages out there, but not everyone wishes you well. There are many forces to contend with,” she added.
