Nigerian Movie Star Profile
Tony Umez has been married 12 years and revels in a rock
solid relationship with wife Patsy Ogochukwu. The couple is blessed with 3
young children.
The actor who usually plays playboys, money ritual cultists and distraught
husbands couldn’t be any further away from reality. The husband of 12 years
and father of 3 beautiful young daughters is a family man entirely devoted
to the well-being of his family and the rock solid relationship he nurtures
with his wife.
The couple met in 1994 on the movie set of a minor production set by a
member of their church. And since good things never come at random or
unannounced, they were playing a married couple.
The Anambra State native didn’t have any premonitions or feelings for his
wife-to-be back then, they were working together and developed a friendly
relationship. That was until a mutual friend also working in the production
revealed to Tony that Patsy had been continuously asking for him on a day he
was absent from the set. That gave him the green light to declare his
feelings to her.
Tony in SHE
A Masters Degree holder in International Law and Diplomacy from the
University of Lagos in 1992, Umez had to do some private tutoring to make a
living since he couldn’t find a job in his line of business due to an
embargo on jobs by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
After a 5-year courtship, the couple married traditionally in 1999 and in
church in 2002.
Steve Agienoji gave him the chance in 1995 to play in the movie “Pains” and
the rest is history.
