dissolution of his four-year-old marriage to beautiful Stephanie Henshaw which
came as a rude shock to many of his church members that fateful Sunday.
Since the news of the crash of his second marriage became public, handsome Kris
Okotie has been a subject of heated discourse in several quarters.
In this report, Showbiz Today goes down memory lane and takes a peep into the
lives of women that have been romantically linked with the ‘/ need someone’
crooner.
Tina Okotie
She was Kris Okotie’s first wife. They were married for 15 years. The reason
for the breakup in 2001 was not immediately known. But it was rumoured that it
was on the grounds of childlessness. The lady, who has since remarried, now
lives in the U.S.
with her children.
Stephanie Henshaw
After seven years of his separation from his first wife, Kris announced in
July, 2008 to his church members that he wanted to remarry. But nobody could
have imagined that he had a secret desire to walk down the aisle with Stephanie
Henshaw, a 42- year-old mother of three who had earlier been in two failed
marriages. The man of God told the whole congregation how much he loved the
beautiful woman.
When they first appeared as husband and wife in the church, Pastor Kris Okotie
told his congregation on that fateful Sunday that God had revealed to him that
their union would be blessed with a set of twins. But four years after, it
turned out a prayer unanswered. And then, the marriage crumbled like a pack of
cards, to the amazement of their fans.
Vein Testola
The Delta State- born ex- Miss Nigeria is another lady who was alleged to have
enjoyed a sizzling romance with Pastor Kris. This was on account of the love
and gifts he showered on her when the going was good. Indeed, many thought the
romance would lead to marriage, as he played a very influential role in her
life. He was also said to have bought a Volkswagen Bug for her then. Also,
Okotie was reported to have played a vital role during her 30th birthday party
held at the Sheraton Hotels & Towers, Ikeja, Lagos, a few years ago.
Besides, he was said to have paid for her accommodation in Mende Estate,
Maryland, Lagos, some years back. But all that is now history.
Queen Urie-Okezie
This light-complexioned lady is the daughter of a former top politician. She
too, like some other beauties, has been romantically linked to the pastor. But
she later dumped him for singer Emmanuel Okosie, also known as Soul E. The
marriage, however, lasted three years, with the parties accusing each other of
infidelity. Many had pointed fingers at the man of God for the sudden crash of
the marriage.
But, at the moment, the lady is reported to have gone back to Okotie shortly
after his marriage with Stephanie collapsed. If the news making the rounds is
anything to go by, she may be the next wife come December.
Sola Salako
Some years back, Sola Salako was the church administrator as well as the head
of Okotie’s campaign organisation. But many didn’t know that she was having an
affair with the man of God.
The boss of Purple Consult was regarded as his wife until the announcement of
Stephanie Henshaw that sunny Sunday.
Reports said the 43-year- old lady initially ran to the United States and by
the time she returned, she stopped attending the church regularly as well as
Okotie’s office until she was eventually sacked, after 19 years of being
together.
Before the eventual separation, she allegedly told all those who cared to
listen that she would be the next Mrs. Okotie.
Udy Umondak
She was the former national coordinator, House of Nigeria F.R.E.S.H, Okotie’s
political platform. They allegedly had a sizzling affair.
Evangelist Elishama Ideh
She is the founder and President of Christ the Ever-present Ministry. She is
also one of the ladies in the pastor’s life. She was rumored to be having a
sizzling relationship with him, even when he was still married to his first
wife, Tina.
This pastor sef. Nawaooo!
