Every girl in her twenties occasionally dreams of the ideal boyfriend and that fantasy fairytale wedding which would end happily ever after.
One person who seems to have been doing much dreaming in the past, is Ghallywood and Africa's screen diva-Juliet Ibrahim. Well, it looks like her girlish dream has suddenly metamorphosed into reality.
She has found Mr. Right and she has a Gold Ring to show for it. Gold is sure said to be a girl's best friend but Juliet Ibrahim is also proving right the saying of Marilyn Monroe that diamonds are indeed a girl's best friend. A diamond ring was recently spotted on her engagement finger two days after she came back from a trip to Paris with her fiancé.
So now she has two rings, a gold ring on her promise finger and a diamond ring on her engagement finger. Could it be she was proposed whiles there? Your guess is as good as mine. Much speculation had gone on left, right and centre in the media circle and among her fans as to who that special man she is keeping in the closet is.
It looks like our dear screen sweetheart is giving us a Ghallywood version of what Penelope Cruz is doing with the identity of the new man in her life, by keeping her man under the sheets but the media and her fans found a way of getting her to let the cat out of the bag. Juliet was first rumoured to be cooling off with her fellow screen idol after their feature in crime to Christ but it turned out they were no Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
We thought the speculation had finally died down only to read in a private entertainment newspaper article of her refuting allegations of dating an international footballer and that was when she gave readers a clue on her love life which she has always made private. 'I am not a footballer's wife; my fiancé is a Ghanaian pilot', she is quoted as saying.
That was all she was able to come out with. Looks like the suspense scenes she experiences in her made-believe story scripts are adding up to her life in reality. She has done a good job by getting us all guessing and we indeed matched up to the challenge by trying to fish out answers to the mind bugging puzzle she lays before us.
It got irritating at a point and both the media and her fans could not figure out why she was not setting the facts straight since her fellow actresses in the persons of Nadia Buari and Yvonne Nelson's relationships to Michael Essein and Jon Germaine, respectively had easily come out into the public eye. But it seems Juliet Ibrahim was waiting for the perfect time to make the announcement.
A picture of her and her mystery man was splashed in the centre spread of an entertainment newspaper four months ago when they were spotted together hand in hand at a movie premiere and that was when she realized her private life would never be private again since her every moment is being monitored by the media and fans, so she dropped the secretive act by finally showing off her Romeo at her recent celebrity birthday bash; they couldn't keep their hands and eyes off each other the whole time.
Well, now we know, after the lights are off and camera's stops rolling, our dear screen diva will have someone to relax with. What else could a girl ask for in a man who doubles as a corporate and social fellow? He is called Kwadwo Safo Junior.
He is drop dead gorgeous ,intelligent, smart, humble, fashionable ,a pilot and a business tycoon who has a multi-million inheritance to his name, plus he is the son to one of the most influential and prominent men in the country.
It sure pays to wait and Juliet has finally 'bagged' herself a Romeo. Congratulations Juliet Ibrahim, we are happy for you and guess we will be hearing wedding bells ringing soonest!
