Veteran actress Joke Silva has recounted how she met her husband, Olu Jacobs, on a movie set, revealing it wasn't an instant attraction for her.
Speaking on TVC's 'Your View', Silva revealed that while Jacobs fell in love at first sight, she took time to warm up to him.
“Yes, we met on stage, and when we met on a movie set, everybody knew the great Olu Jacobs was coming, except me. When he came, we got on very well, and I discovered his age only after we started dating because he looked so good. For him, it was love at first sight, but for me, it wasn’t,” she said.

Their union, which has produced two children, has lasted decades, with Silva crediting Jacobs' understanding as a key factor in their enduring relationship.
“This older man allows you to get away with a lot of things", she said.
Joke Silva and Olu Jacob exchanged vows in 1985, with Silva being 24, and Jacob 44.
