9 Ghanaian celebrities who married unknown partners

• The listed celebrities chose to settle down with unknown women

• Their respective marriages have been serene at least without any public controversies

• Members of the public expressed surprise at how the celebrities managed to marry such previously non-famous wives

One might expect that with all the fame, glitz, and glamour, these Ghanaian celebrities will keep a spouse similarly high up their standards.

However, it cannot be said about these artistes as they’ve gone against the grain to marry ‘regular’ people.

Amidst the ‘popular’ notion that it is impossible to have a successful marriage in the Ghanaian showbiz industry, these celebrities chose to settle down with people who aren’t famous and have this far had serene marriages.

For proof that there’s plenty of love to be found beyond the limelight, let's take a look at some Ghanaian celebrities who have demonstrated that love knows no ‘star power’:


Dr. Pounds

Many have expressed amazement at how the popular Hitz FM presenter who tied the knot on May 23, 2021, sidestepped all the ‘slay queens’ in the showbiz and media space and chose a reserved lady as a wife.
