I insulted her during our first encounter – Santiago on meeting wife Naana Brown

Kumawood actress and makeup artist Naana Brown and her husband, Nana Acheampong, popularly known as Santiago, shared their love story on "The Delay Show," revealing how their relationship began and blossomed.

Naana Brown, originally from Accra, moved to Kumasi in 2009. Santiago, a well-known disc jockey and broadcaster, was working as a presenter at Solid FM and was also involved in acting at the time. The two met on a movie set six months after Naana Brown's relocation.

On how they met, Santiago recounted, "The first day we met, we fought. I insulted her in my head."

Explaining how it happened, Santiago said, "People knew me well in Kumasi because of my radio job. I was very popular. While on the movie set, I was sitting on a chair, minding my business, when she approached me and said they needed the chair for makeup.

"I looked at her with a stern face and insulted her in my head. It was very annoying. But later, when she turned, I noticed her huge backside and thought that was probably why she was behaving like that."

He continued, "Afterwards, we spoke, and that was after people recognized me and hailed me. Abena Ghana interacted with me, and while Abena touted my accomplishments, Naana Brown became interested in me."

Naana Brown shared her perspective with a slight twist, emphasizing that she requested the seat because they needed it for makeup. She mentioned that she did not disrespect Santiago in her request but admitted that she did not sound lively when asking for the chair.

"I didn’t speak disrespectfully, but I was straightforward with my words. I was about to do makeup, and the director was pressuring me. Later, after I was done with the makeup, I saw him standing there, looking elegant. That was when I noticed how he looked and complimented him in my head.

"I spoke to Abena Ghana about connecting him to some advertising agencies because he has the looks, so they might engage his services. Abena Ghana spoke highly of him, so I approached him and asked for his contact," she added. "I admired him from the first day."

Following this initial encounter, Naana Brown and Santiago remained friends for about a year before they started dating. Both were single at the time, and their relationship grew stronger.

They married in 2014. During their dating period, Naana Brown became pregnant. The couple now has three children and are expecting another one.

They made these comments on "The Delay Show," aired on May 25, 2024.
