Celebrity fashion designer Veekee James has defended her decision to frequently appear in public with her husband, Femi Atere, dismissing criticism from a social media user who questioned why he accompanies her to events.
Veekee made the remarks in a video shared on her Snapchat on Sunday while responding to a troll who claimed her husband did not have “a life of his own” because he was always seen by her side.
Reacting to the comment, the fashion entrepreneur said marriage is about sharing life, stressing that she and her husband had deliberately built their relationship around togetherness.
“Yes, my husband does not have a life of his own. His life is my life, the same way I don’t have a life of my own. My life is his life. He is me and I am him. Together we are like padlock and key,” she said.
Veekee argued that critics of their relationship misunderstood the essence of marriage.

“When you marry your own, separate him. When you marry your own, remove him from your life and keep him somewhere else. You don’t know what marriage is. His life is mine, my life is his. Everything he is, is mine,” she added.
She maintained that marriage means partners share every aspect of their lives rather than living independently of one another.
The designer also made it clear that she and her husband would continue attending public events together despite criticism.
“You’ve not seen anything. You will see me and my husband anywhere possible, everywhere possible, you will see us,” she said.
Veekee ended the video on a light-hearted note, jokingly referring to her husband as her “personal handbag” while sharing clips of the couple.
