Former Big Brother Naija star and actress, Bamike Olawunmi-Adenibuyan, popularly known as Bambam, has opened up on how couples in the entertainment industry can maintain strong marriages despite the challenges that come with their careers.
Speaking on The Link Up podcast hosted by her husband, Teddy A, on Echoo Room, Bambam stressed the importance of emotional security and open communication between partners, especially when both are in showbiz.
“There has to be emotional security in your relationship. You people should be each other’s guy. You guys should talk about everything. Know that this is what my husband does, this is what my wife does. Know that it ends on set and you decide if you want to continue with the person or not,” she said.
The actress further advised couples to be intentional about setting boundaries and to discuss the realities of their work to prevent misunderstandings.
“Have the conversations, decide what your boundaries are, what you will not go past. Just talk about everything. As uncomfortable as a conversation is, what’s the worst that can happen? Instead of pretending and getting into the situationship and you can’t handle it?” she added.
Addressing those hesitant to date entertainers, Bambam emphasized the need for clarity and understanding before entering such relationships.
“There are some people that swear that they can’t be with an actor. If you know you want to be with an entertainer, make sure you have the conversations no matter how uncomfortable they may be,” she advised.
On a personal note, Bambam credited her faith in God as her ultimate source of strength and resilience.
“Take everything from me and leave Jesus for me. Throw me in the desert, God will make a way and I will survive,” she affirmed.
