Ejiofor: I Kept My Feelings To Myself For Month Because I Was Afraid To Tell Him I Want To Marry Him

According to a video posted on Toke Moments Podcast on Friday, November 13, 2026, Nollywood actress Linda Ejiofor has revealed that she kept her romantic feelings for her husband to herself for several months before eventually making a move.

The actress shared the story of how their relationship began during an interview with the podcast host. The couple are now approaching their eighth wedding anniversary.

Linda explained that they initially met through mutual friends and spent about a year building a friendship. According to her, he had been introduced to her on several occasions, but she did not immediately take notice of him until he made her laugh at an interview venue.

She disclosed that they crossed paths again during a dance stage play, which brought them closer. Following the encounter, they began spending time together as friends.

The actress said what attracted her to him was his personality, particularly his kindness, calm nature and the way he treated people around him.

Recalling the moment she realised she had fallen in love with him, Linda said she was impressed by how politely he spoke to a person who came to take their order. She also remembered how he regularly greeted security guards and asked about their families whenever they drove past them.

In her words, Linda Ejiofor said, “I noticed how he was talking to the person who came to take our order, how nice he was. Then I remembered, we were driving past a security guard and he would say, hi, how are you doing, how is the family.

“He was always nice, soft-spoken and kind. I looked at him and thought, I like this guy. I think I am in love with this guy. I did not tell him. I kept it. In a silent prayer I said, God, this is the man I want to get married to,” she said.

When the host asked whether her husband had similar feelings towards her at the time, Linda said he did not appear to feel the same way. However, she suggested that he might have been shy.

She further revealed that after keeping her feelings to herself for several months, she eventually decided to take the initiative.

According to the actress, they had gone out together on one occasion, and he dropped her off at home. She said she seized the opportunity to kiss him, and he responded by kissing her back.
