Celebrated Nollywood actor Etinosa “Baba Rex” Ogbefun and his wife, Nneka “Nenny Gold” Ogbefun, have reached a remarkable milestone—ten years of marriage. The couple, who tied the knot on August 22, 2015, took to social media today to share heartfelt tributes, stunning family portraits, and messages of gratitude as they celebrated their decade-long journey together.
The pair, admired for keeping their union largely private while maintaining an enviable balance between fame and family life, expressed deep appreciation for each other. Baba Rex praised his wife for being his “rock and biggest cheerleader,” while Nenny Gold described her husband as “the man who makes love and partnership beautiful every single day.”
Their marriage has been blessed with three children, and the family’s photoshoot to mark the anniversary quickly went viral across Nigerian social media, with fans, colleagues, and industry leaders showering them with congratulatory messages. Stars such as Toyin Abraham, Destiny Etiko, and Yul Edochie joined thousands of admirers to celebrate the couple’s enduring love story.
Baba Rex, who has featured in blockbuster Nollywood films like The Ghost and the Tout Too (2021) and Fine Wine (2021), is recognized as one of the industry’s most versatile actors, seamlessly blending comedy and drama in his roles. His wife, Nenny Gold, is not just known as a supportive partner but also as an entrepreneur and content creator with a growing online following.
Over the years, the couple has been open about their shared values of faith, patience, and perseverance, often using their platform to inspire younger couples navigating the realities of marriage. In a recent Instagram live session, Baba Rex encouraged fans never to give up on love, emphasizing that “marriage is a journey of friendship, forgiveness, and faith.”
The anniversary celebration also highlights a broader conversation in Nollywood, where celebrity marriages often face public scrutiny and collapse under pressure. The Ogbefuns’ success story has therefore become a beacon of hope, proving that genuine love can thrive even under the spotlight.
As they mark their tenth year together, Baba Rex and Nenny Gold reaffirmed their commitment to building a stronger bond while raising their children in love and faith. Fans across Nigeria and beyond continue to celebrate them as one of Nollywood’s most admired couples, with many already looking forward to what the next decade will bring.
