Comedienne, Helen Paul
In a new interview with The Sun, popular female comedienne, Helen Paul, has opened up on how she met and fell in love with her hubby of 5 years. Below is how the mother of three shared her interesting story;
On how she met her husband:
I met him through my boss where I was formerly working. He was a friend to my boss. While he always saw me as too playful and jumpy, I saw him as too stingy.
On the reason she thought her husband was stingy:
Those days when my boss’ colleagues came visiting, they always reached out to us when leaving. They gave us money which we used to buy doughnuts and soft drinks but my husband never gave us anything. He would just wave his hand and say ‘bye bye guys, take care of yourselves’. So we always saw him as a selfish lawyer.
On the day she summoned all the courage and decided to confront him:
On that fateful day, I summoned courage and as he was leaving, I told him, ‘sir, you don’t buy us anything any time you come but we really like you. If you can be buying us doughnuts and soft drinks, we would be very grateful’. He started laughing, so I quickly added, ‘sir, it’s not only me o. My colleagues are also involved, so please don’t tell our boss’.
Her brave move paid off as her future husband laughed it off after which he reached into his pockets and gave them ‘something’ for lunch.
"We were so happy I asked for his phone number which he gave me. And then I gave his number to my friends and we all started calling to thank him. He realised that we really desired the doughnuts and soft drinks so whenever he came by, he would give us money for doughnuts and soft drinks. He never failed to deliver whenever he showed up and we never stopped thanking him. And then one day, he took a good look at me and said ‘baby, I love you’ and the rest is history."
On what she'll do differently if she had a second chance at marriage:
I would have loved to give birth to triplets instead of having to visit the labour room thrice. If I was doing triplets, I would have nine kids by now. I love children so much.
On if she's done having kids:
I really don’t know o. Because my body is still very soft.
