Nigerian musician, Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr. P, addressed the age gap between his 51 years old wife, Lola Omotayo, and himself; she is nine years older than her husband. Peter and his twin, Paul, turned 41 in November 2022.
In a recent interview, he recounted how people kept talking about his family because they got married after having two children.
According to him, people told his wife that he would dump her for someone younger, but he decided to marry her because she was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
In his words:
“You know my wife has been through a lot in her life, and I’m more like her support system.
I’m not gonna let go despite what everybody says. She’s more like a queen. I know, she’s an individual who… She took me when I was a nobody.

“I made up my mind like you’re the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. I got married after two kids. Everybody was expecting me to dump her and marry a younger woman.”
