“I listened to my song, ‘Next year I will love to marry’ … and I’m like look this next year I want to marry and that’s the person (Annie Macaulay). It just happened like that on Valentine’s Day I just called her ‘hey lets hang out’,” he said.
The Implications star proposed to Annie, the mother of his daughter, Isabella Idibia, on Valentine’s Day, February 14 this year after 13 years dating.
The choice of date he said “was just spontaneous; I didn’t plan anything but I just knew that this is the person,” and he proposed to her.
Touching on marriage life, Tu Bab as he is sometimes known said “everything is so far so smooth. It’s a new phase and we are growing into it. We’ve been friends for a very long time so it is not too difficult to blend.”
According to the ladies’ man, he has not broken any heart with his move to finally settle down jovially stating “The girls they don dey fear me already before … I no break anybody’s heart.”
2Face recently released his fifth album, Away and Beyond. He released his first, Face 2 Face in 2004 followed by Grass 2 Grace in 2006, The Unstoppable in 2008 and The Unstoppable International Edition in 2010.
