Nigerian actress, Frederick Leonard, on Friday celebrated his lover and colleague, Peggy Ovire, as she marked her birthday.
The actor, taking to his Instagram page, said his love for the actress has remained constant over the years.
He wrote “To have and hold. To love and to cherish… In good times and in all times. Through the years, my love for you has remained constant…look how far we’ve come Baby,” he wrote.
“It’s your birthday today and so the world celebrates you. But our love, I will celebrate always. Happy birthday, @peggyovire. My baby, my valentine, I LOVE YOU.”
In an interview in 2020, Frederick Leonard opened up on the sacrifices he made in his rise to stardom.
He said “The prices you pay are endless. As a public figure, a lot of people would feel they know you and make you a topic of discussion. People who haven’t even met you, would have a lot to say about you. And sometimes, it can be quite annoying.
“Sometimes, you grant interviews and the tabloids cast a very nasty headline, and people judge you based on that without reading the interview. People create scandals and tie you to it. Sometimes people just inflate your age; right now, Google has made me four years older than my actual age.
“There is a lot going on. But the defamation of character is quite painful. Aside from that, you also lose your privacy. You want to transact, people know it’s you, then they inflate prices because they feel you have the money. Stardom has its highs and lows,”
