'My husband is my partner in everything,' says Veekee James
Celebrity fashion designer Veekee James has responded to criticism over her frequent public appearances with her husband, Femi Atere, saying their close relationship reflects the values they share in marriage. Speaking in a video posted on her Snapchat account, Veekee addressed comments from a social media user who questioned why her husband was always seen accompanying her to events, suggesting he lacked a life of his own. Rejecting the criticism, the fashion entrepreneur said she and her husband had deliberately built a marriage centred on togetherness and mutual support. According to her, marriage is about sharing life, goals and experiences rather than living separate lives. Veekee explained that both she and her husband see themselves as partners in every aspect of life, describing their relationship as one built on unity and commitment. She added that those questioning their closeness may have a different understanding of marriage. The designer also used a light-hearted expression to describe her husband's constant presence by her side, saying he is her "personal handbag" because they enjoy spending time together wherever they go. She maintained that public opinion would not influence how they choose to live their lives, insisting they would continue attending events together as a couple. According to Veekee, their decision to appear together publicly is a personal choice rooted in love, companionship and the kind of marriage they have chosen to build. She said critics should respect that every couple defines their relationship differently and should be free to live according to what works for them.
