WHATS UP WITH STEPHANIE OKEREKE AND LAGOS BIG BOY, LINUS IDAHOSA

Spread the love


Since Nollywood diva, Stephanie Okereke marriage to former Super Eagle player husband, Chikelu Iloenyosi crashed two years ago; she has not been romantically linked to any other man, not until recently when the news of her alleged relationship to an emerging Lagos big boy broke. The latest gist about her right now is her sizzling romance with Linus Idahosa, and both of them have been spotted at major event. Her new found love, Linus is a CNN Media consultant and the MD of Del- York International which is a media and marketing communications company that offers services that range from advertising, film production, events planning, to digital design and broadcast communication.
Their alleged love affair started after an accident which the actress had few years ago on her way to Bayelsa State to attend the African Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) where she sustained injuries. Linus who read about her predicament in papers promptly came to her rescue. After she was given some kinds treatment at one hospital in Port- Harcourt, Stephanie was flown abroad for proper treatment. Though Stephanie was given a huge support by her State government, Linus was also very supportive during that trying periods.
After that magnanimous gesture, both of them started getting close and a cordial relationship soon developed, but it wasn’t serious since she was still happily married to her husband then. But it wasn’t long after the accident crisis that her marriage also started experiencing some hiccups. And when the Stephanie couldn’t bear it any longer; she sought for the dissolution of her marriage to Chikelu. She claimed that her ex-husband had extra marital affair. She packed out of the house and move into her sister apartment in Lekki in Lagos.
It was a big blow to this Imo State born actress at that time, but she did pull through and went low key for a while. Linus was also a shoulder to lean on at that point.
Steadily, she put through. Her first breakthrough after her marriage crisis came when she released her movie, “Through the Glass”, which gave her reason to be happy once again as the film was rated as a World Class Movie, a development that has brought a lot of money into her pocket. It was a big come back for her. Since then, she hasn’t looked back. She has been very radiant and gradually finding her feet back.
But it wasn’t long that it came to the fore that the success of her movie is not the only reason for the glint in Stephanie eyes recently, she has also fallen in love again and this cute dude makes her life happy.
There have been various instances of these two lovebirds stepping out together as they have been having loads of fun visiting places together. The duo was first scene together last November when Stephanie came to pick him up at the Airport on a trip home.
They were also sighted afterwards at Auto Lounge, the A- List hang out at Victoria Island, Lagos. The way they were holding themselves, dancing and looking into each other’s eyes, spoke volume of their affection for each other.
Their most recent outing was at the recently held MNET Face of Africa (see pix) event which took place on February 6, 2010 at the Eko Hotel Exhibition Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos. They stormed the venue looking like a perfect couple and they were in the company of each other all through the evening.
According to sources, one of the qualities Stephanie likes about this man apart from his dashing look is also his well- mannered attitude. He is very calm and has a sense of focus.
Apart from stepping out together at some of the A-class event, Stephanie also plays a key role in the guy’s business. She serves as the Executive Director of one of his companies, Del-York. They have been doing a lot together both in Nigeria and abroad and Stephanie is always right beside him .The company which focus on revolutionizing the film making industry via some training has Stephanie also bringing in her acting expertise forward. She is a big fulcrum of support to her man, Linus.
One of Stephanie’s close friends who spoke to City People in her defense claimed that the relationship between her and Linus is purely a working one.
Tongues are however rife within the same industry that the duo share more than a working relationship.
