LINUS & STEPHANIE IDAHOSA

STEPHANIE

As wife, model, actress, producer and a director how are you able to balance all?

Honestly, it’s been by the special grace of God. It sounds like a cliché but truly, that is what it takes. I am very passionate about everything I do and so nothing really seems like work. On the home front, my husband is very loving and supportive of what I do and that helps a lot.

What endeared you to your husband and how long did it take you to realize he was ‘the one’?

He had this magnetic presence that was very captivating. He didn’t beat around the bush, he knew exactly what he wanted and was upfront about it, which I found quite charming and sexy. He is very tender and protective, a man’s man. He is sweet, humble, driven, has a close relationship with God, very loving and he takes good care of me. We respect what we have and as a woman, when a man loves you, you just know. You know that you’re in it together, regardless of any situation. With him,

there was a conviction in my heart that this is it.

What will you say is important to know to become a successful actress and director as yourself?

The key ingredient is talent and dedication. You must rst of all be gifted with that creativity and then fuel it with a good dose of passion. Also, the importance of training cannot be over emphasized. You need both formal and on-the-job training to sharpen your skills and improve every day.

How did you meet your wife Stephanie and will you say it was love at rst sight?

I met Stephanie while doing some Business Consulting work for a Middle Eastern Company that wanted to berth in Africa; they needed an African female celebrity ambassador for their brand; Liya Kebede from Ethiopia and Stephanie were the two candidates on tab for the role; so I reached out to her; So yeah.. it was “Love for Business at First Sight” .
