In a touching Instagram post, Ogiame Atuwatse III expressed his admiration and gratitude for his wife.
“My darling Olori, the jewel of my heart and the light of our home. Ten years ago, you graced my life with your love, and ever since, you have been my greatest blessing,” he wrote.
Reflecting on their journey together, he continued, “On that day ten years ago, I said you were the most stunning bride I had ever seen, and now, after a decade, you have blossomed into the most beautiful woman I know. You touch my heart in ways I never thought possible, and with each passing year, my admiration for you only grows deeper. Through every joy and challenge, you have been my confidant and my source of peace, standing beside me steadfastly.”
The monarch also shared his excitement for their future, calling their bond a divine blessing.
On her part, Olori Ivie, daughter of the late business magnate Captain Hosa Okunbo, poured out her heart in a heartfelt message.
“When we were still ‘friends,’ I casually mentioned to him that I would rather be married to no one else, and 10 years later, that statement rings more true than ever,” she wrote. “His kindness, his protection, his faith (my God, his faith!), his faith is our family’s strong tower.
“His love has delivered me from fears inherited and acquired. A former addict to anxiety, I have been delivered by the steadfastness of his love towards me to trust that the darkest nights lead to our brightest mornings.”
She praised the Olu for being a magnificent husband and father, describing him as “an extension of God’s love” in her life.
The couple also shared photos of themselves and their children to commemorate the occasion, reflecting their joy and gratitude for the family they have built together.
