- Giving the importance, Simi explained that living together would allow an intending couple to know each other better before deciding to get married.
- She revealed that she lived together with her husband Adekunle Gold before finally settling
Singer Simi expresses her support for the concept of living together before marriage.
Simi firmly stands by her belief that experiencing life under the same roof before tying the knot is an essential step towards building a strong and lasting union.
She clarified that cohabiting will enable a prospective pair to get to know one another better before determining to tie the knot.
In the most recent episode of the Tea With Tay podcast, Simi disclosed that she and her husband, Adekunle Gold, cohabitated before they married.
She said:
“I used to go over to Adekunle Gold’s place for us to spend time together.
“I am of the opinion that… Maybe I shouldn’t share this opinion because I feel like religious people might not agree with me. I personally think that people who want to get married should live together for a little bit before they do that. Because I don’t think you really know someone that you’re going to marry until you cohabit. The way someone is when they are outside in their best behaviour is different from how they are when they are cranky and they haven’t eaten or when they wake up in the morning or when they are snoring.
“When you live with someone you know all the sides to them, that is when you really know if you can do forever with them. Millions of people have gotten married without living together. But I personally think it’s a good idea to cohabit before marriage. It doesn’t have to be for long.”
In another story, Simi opens up on Why she never wanted to marry Adekunle Gold .
Simi said she did not know Adekunle was a musician when she met him.
