He explained that he and his spouse have a firm agreement to keep any disagreements out of the public sphere.
He added that inviting outside opinions into personal conflicts seldom helps, observing that strangers “won’t resolve the argument.”
The Reality of Longevity
Looking back on almost fifty years of companionship, the artist openly admitted how easily monotony can creep into a lifelong bond. To make his point relatable, he offered a everyday analogy:
“I have shared 48 years with one woman, and it feels quite dull. Picture eating the same egusi soup year after year—it loses its appeal.”
He further noted that deep familiarity over time can naturally dampen the initial excitement, yet he still embraces the old saying, “The devil you know is preferable to the angel you don’t know.”
Although he cautioned that betrayal can destroy trust, he surprisingly endorsed the idea of “outsourcing” certain aspects within a partnership.
