Annie and 2 Face's Live Story: How They Met At Age 15

A true love story, after all the ups and
downs, the break- ups, cheating and all, they
still ended up as ONE!
How They Met
Annie first met 2face Idibia at Even Ezra
Music Studio when she was just fifteen and in
her words, “I think there was some electricity
that second”.
They were friends first but had started dating
officially by the time they shot the “African
Queen” video in 2004. That was when 2Face
announced that they were together during an
interview.
According to Annie, “I remember my 16th
birthday at Alpha Beach, with me and my
friends. When we were going home, we all
walked to the bus stop with him and his
cousin. Plantashun Boiz had just recorded
“Knock Me Off” at the time so he wasn’t a
star yet.
So we got into the bus, he sat in front with
his cousin so when we wanted to pay the
conductor, he said, “no, he done pay already”
I was feeling like a babe. “Hey! My boyfriend
paid everybody’s bus fare.” And that time,
bus was like N2.50k or N3 per person for
about 14 people. But he told me recently that
he didn’t eat that night because he paid for
everyone.”
Breakup
Soon Annie’s entertainment career became a
lot more difficult as a result of being known
as ’2Face’s girl’ and then they had their first
breakup, came back, broke up again.
She was hurt when word got out that, in
quick succession, 2Face had gotten two
different women pregnant – Pero Adeniyi and
Sumbo Ajala. At that point, the couple broke
up.
When Pero and Sumbo yet again got
pregnant for 2Face once again, that was
when 2Face and Annie had their longest
break-up which lasted almost a year and a
half. But as they say, love will always find a
way, they made up again and Annie gave
birth to 2Face’s fifth child Isabel and then in
2012, Pero gave birth to his sixth child in
the US. Well, Pero couldn’t even prevent
them from being together.
Proposal
In 2012, 2Face proposed to Annie on
Valentine’s Day at Jay Jay Okocha’s Club 10
in Victoria Island, Lagos. And, they weren’t
even dating then, although were still on
talking terms after he had called her out of
the blue a few weeks before, visited her at
home and asked for her forgiveness and
friendship.
According TO eye-witness reports, 2Face
took Annie to a quiet section of the club, he
knelt down and told her “I KNOW WE have
had OUR ups and downs but it will be MY
heart’s desire for YOU to marry ME” and then
presented the dazzling ring and Annie began
screaming “YES, YES, YES” after crying her
eyes out!
Secret Union
Shortly after 2Face‘s concert when he
brought out then-fiancee, Annie during his
performance of“African Queen”, the two
secretly legalized their union in a Lagos
registry on Tuesday, May 1 2012.
They later went ahead with a traditional
wedding on Friday 8th March 2013 in Akwa
Ibom followed by big wedding parties before
& after. The white wedding which took
