He noted how he is a Muslim, while Bimpe is a Christian, but that didn’t matter to him because the most important thing before religion is his peace.

Lateef admitted that Bimpe had her concerns, but he told her to let him meet her father, and the rest is history.

“I promised never to marry someone from my industry, but God had better plans. I am a Muslim, she’s a Christian.

It didn’t matter to me because the most important thing before religion is my peace.

She had her concerns, but I told her to let me meet her father, and the rest is history”.

Lateef also disclosed that the photos of his triplets on social media aren’t theirs. According to him, when he and his wife are ready, they will unveil their babies’ faces.

“Also, those children you are seeing with us on social media are not the faces of our triplets because it’s AI. When we are ready, we will reveal their faces”.

Earlier this year, while on the set of a movie, Lateef shared a little story of how he met Bimpe. He attested that Bimpe is calm, as she was raised an introvert, who was always inside her father’s compound.

On Valentine’s Day, Lateef shared loved-up photos of them, calling Mo his lady, his woman, and his wife. He stated that she is always on his mind, the first thought he carries into the day, and the reason his heart feels calm.

To celebrate the love season, he surprised her with a tray filled with food and other items gifts. The comic actor had made a customised mug for her, turned their love story into a storybook, and bought new bags, clothes, and more.

On their 4th tradiversary, Adedimeji declared Bimpe the greatest gift in his life and expressed gratitude for her every day. Mo Bimpe, on the other hand, described him as her man, her best friend, her safe haven, and her winning partner. She noted how everything became better with him in it.

Some years back, Lateef had opened up about their love story, revealing that he and Bimpe had vowed in their hearts never to marry their colleague until they met each other. He also revealed that they had both encountered a roadblock in their relationship due to their different religion.
