Eight years on, the couple is waxing stronger in love. They welcomed their first son in September 2018 and their second son in December 2020. Agbani was the first indigenous African to win Miss World. She won the crown in 2001.

She attended the University of Port Harcourt where she studied Computer Science and Mathematics.
