Popular fashion designer Veekee James has opened up about how she met her husband, Femi Atere.

She revealed that there are controversies surrounding their meeting because her husband was a manager of one of her friends.

She disclosed that they dated for almost two years before their lavish wedding in Akwa Ibom last month.

The fashion designer recently featured on Channels TV programme, Rubbin’ Minds with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.

James said, “There is a lot of controversy around how we met because my husband used to be one of the managers for a friend of mine. That was how we met. And a lot of blogs have had a lot to say about how we met but I’ve never ever come out to talk about it. And I think I want to keep it that way.

“We are happy. We dated for quite a while. I think for almost two years. After a year and some months, we got engaged and then we played the wedding for almost six months.”
