You are in the limelight, and I am too. So when you step out, I will always have doubts in my mind, no matter how much I trust you.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ladies are always holding you tight to take pictures with you, and if I am the jealous type, it will not work for us,&#8221; she stated.<\/p>\n<p>However, Agyapong noted that many celebrity marriages endure because the individuals involved decide to wed partners from different professional backgrounds. According to her, celebrities enjoy their marriages and stay together for a longer period because their partners are not also in the limelight.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have observed for a very long time that celebrities enjoy their marriages and also stay together for a longer period because their partners are not also in the limelight,&#8221; she expressed.<\/p>\n<p>She cited examples like Stonebwoy, Sarkodie, Edem, Okyeame Kwame, and Kojo Antwi, highlighting that these musicians chose spouses outside the industry, contributing to the success of their marriages.<\/p>\n<p>ID\/BB<\/p>\n<p>Click here to follow the GhanaWeb Entertainment WhatsApp channel <\/p>\n<p><i><b>Ghana\u2019s leading digital news platform, GhanaWeb, in conjunction with the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, is embarking on an aggressive campaign which is geared towards ensuring that parliament passes comprehensive legislation to guide organ harvesting, organ donation, and organ transplantation in the country.<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Watch the latest episode of Everyday People below:<\/b> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Veteran Highlife musician, Akosua Agyapong Veteran Highlife musician Akosua Agyapong has expressed concern about the growing trend among Ghanaian celebrities who choose not to marry within their industry.
