Amarachi Obumneme, the wife of late Nollywood actor Junior Pope, has taken to Instagram to share an emotional tribute in honour of what would have been their 11th wedding anniversary, marked on July 26, 2025.
In the touching post, Amarachi—popularly known as Qutejay—poured out her heart, expressing how different this year feels without her beloved husband by her side. “Jayyyypeee, jay to the peeeee. My Guyest guy, the one that gives me all the gists and more,” she began, lamenting that they didn’t get to do their usual anniversary photoshoot this year.
Reflecting on the overwhelming emotions she still faces, she shared, “When it sometimes gets sooo overwhelming, I will tell whoever is with me at that point… ‘JP will come back, ooo, because who did he leave this work for?’”
Amarachi also revealed how much she’s come to value genuine affection since his passing on April 10, 2024. “I never realised how soothing hugs were till I got some genuine ones after 10th April 2024,” she wrote.
Despite the grief, her message carried a tone of faith and remembrance. “I wrote today with mixed feelings… pained at your physical absence but somewhat joyed that you indeed live on… Keep interceding and watching over us,” she added.
The post was accompanied by cherished throwback photos of her and Junior Pope, drawing an outpouring of support from fans and followers across social media.
