The couple’s love story was highlighted during their recent appearance on the TVC program Your View. Yeide recounted the charming story, going back to when she was Seun’s backup dancer and how she avoided talking to him at the time.
“Seun and I have been friends for a long time, but we never spoke since, well, he was older than me. After a while, I reconnected with him through his cousin, and since I was an avid dancer, I began performing with them. She mentioned that his cousin was also a dancer.
Yeide saw that Seun showed interest in her at the time. She began, “And he was the one scoping me out.” In response, Seun said, “We were both scoping ourselves.”
In a lighthearted manner, Seun stressed that they are only five years apart, emphasizing that this is not as large as his wife had made it appear. Yeide continued her story, saying that she chose to avoid him when she began to feel anything for him because Seun had a girlfriend at the moment, so she decided to keep her distance.
She remarked, “He was too amazing; it was a lot for me.” It wasn’t like he was above my capabilities and he had plenty going for him. Though we never spoke, I used to see him. I made an effort to act aloof because I was seeing someone he knew at the time, which made things difficult. However, he was dating someone else. I had to back off because his girlfriend was even making fun of me. What was I to do with someone who had a girlfriend?”
The singer continued by saying that he was unaware of the reason why he was feeling something for her at first.
