Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has revealed that he is now married to a Nigerian-Ethiopian, Ify Koko(both pictured), as his second wife, adding that his marriage of over three decades to Diane is still very much intact.
The maverick showbiz personality told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Friday about his wacky love life.
“I met her(Ify Koko) in another radio show. She was one of the callers and that was how it all started.
“I have known her for over a year now until we decided to make it a permanent thing few months ago. Some body of my status needs more than one wife. I need many wives, many children and plenty of love that will do it for me.
“Koko is the 18th woman in my life right now and she is the latest. As you can see, I am looking younger because I am very happy with my new bride, who is very beautiful and supportive.
“I have also decided to go on air with her because she has something to bring to the table, she is an advertiser and human resource manager.
“I am now married to Ify Koko, a Nigerian-Ethiopian. We have agreed to come together to co-host my radio program: ‘Talk Junction’ on FRCN network every Saturday by 10.30am.
“Diane is still with me, we are not divorced. We have been happily married for 38 years now and she is the Chief Mother of my home and all my children and that is not changing.
“She goes no leave, no transfer. Every other woman I have live in their separate places. I really don’t see the big deal about it, people are over blowing the whole thing.
“I am an African man, and I can marry as much as I can take care of and I don’t believe in divorce,” he emphasised.
The trophy wife who was with the husband during the interview talked about the relationship so far.
“I have known Charlie Boy as very caring and loving man and I have a son for him. We decided to formally come together as husband and wife four months ago and I am not regretting it.
“I don’t have business with any other woman in the life of Charly Boy as I only focus on what I have with him,” Ify Koko declared in a veiled reference to his marriage to Diane .
