Celeb couple has recipe for happiness
Communication key to success
Celebrity couple Mpho Osei Tutu and Tumi Morake both have thriving careers‚ are raising a family and building an empire, but most importantly, are a team in everything they do.
While Tumi continues to take the comedy world by storm‚ her equally famous husband Mpho has been owning the theatre stage. Even though both are fiercely passionate about TV‚ theatre and comedy‚ they make sure their relationship does not take a back seat.
During an interview with Tshisa LIVE‚ Mpho gave a glimpse of what a typical day in their household looks like.
“It’s very dynamic‚ unpredictable and there’s a lot of laughter. We need to have a sense of humour about things‚” Mpho said.
Even though they both juggle hectic schedules and have to make sure they are great parents, quality time for each other is at the top of the priority list.
“If we have gaps in between, we try to have dates and try to steal moments. We understand the value of contact with each other, but when it can’t happen we understand.”
Mpho explained that the ‘secret’ to making sure they are always on top of the many roles they play, is communication.
“We have synchronised diaries‚ we speak to each other every day no matter where we are in the world‚ our relationship takes precedence over our careers.”
Mpho said it helps that they both are in the industry and understand each other’s needs.
As business partners and well-known personalities, Mpho revealed that one day soon they could be turning their lives into a reality show.
In the meantime Mpho has his sights set on bringing home a Naledi Award for his role in Scorched‚ which scored seven nominations at the awards.
Mpho has scooped a nomination in the Best Actor category.
Tumi will co-host the Sama awards with Somizi Mhlongo this weekend.
