My Husband Doesn't Have A Life Of His Own – Veekee James Responds To Critics
Celebrity fashion designer Veekee James has responded to criticism over her frequent public appearances with her husband, Femi Atere, maintaining that marriage requires couples to share their lives.
The designer addressed the issue in a Snapchat video after a user commented that her husband did not have "a life of his own" because he was always seen with her.
Reacting to the criticism, James said the comment stemmed from a misunderstanding of marriage. She explained that in a true union, both partners become one, and there is no separation of lives.
She also playfully referred to her husband as her "personal handbag" and assured critics that they would continue to be seen together everywhere.
She said:
"Yes, my husband does not have a life of his own. His life is my life, the same way I don't have a life of my own. My life is his life. He is me, and I am him. Together we are like a padlock and key."
"When you marry your own, separate him. When you marry your own, remove him from your life and keep him somewhere else. You don't know what marriage is. His life is mine, my life is his. Everything he is, is mine."
"You've not seen anything. You will see my husband and me anywhere possible, everywhere possible; you will see us."
