Helen Paul Reveals Challenges Faced in Relationship with Husband

Renowned comedienne, Helen Paul, recently opened up about the hurdles she faced in her relationship with her husband, Femi Bamisile. In the latest episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, hosted by actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, popularly known as Nedu, Helen shared how her boss and Human Resources manager at work attempted to discourage her husband from pursuing a relationship with her.

Recalling the challenging moments, Helen disclosed that her boss took the initiative to call her husband and express reservations about their relationship. According to her, the boss suggested that Femi could “just enjoy” being with her but implied that she wasn’t suitable for a serious commitment.

“My boss called my husband and said, ‘Femi, is it that kind of Helen you want to date? You are more than that. But if you want to just enjoy yourself with her, it’s okay oh!’” Helen revealed during the podcast.

The interference didn’t stop there, as Helen also shared an incident involving her HR manager at the time. The HR manager questioned Femi’s choice, emphasizing his clean and professional image as a lawyer.

“I took Femi to my office then in TVC, my HR manager looked at Femi and said, ‘Look at how clean you are, a lawyer. Why the choice of Helen?’” she recounted.

Despite the challenges, Helen Paul and Femi Bamisile eventually tied the knot in 2010, and their union has been blessed with two children.

Helen’s revelation sheds light on the societal perceptions and challenges that individuals may face when entering into relationships, emphasizing the importance of personal choices and overcoming external opinions in matters of the heart.
