"I've never really been the girl who sits down and thinks about marriage. It wasn't a thing for me. I didn't even know whether I was going to marry. I knew I was a catch and anyone that was going to marry me was going to be lucky."

According to her, she met her husband at work after he approached her and tried to start a conversation.

She was not interested at first, but she eventually gave him a chance, and they ended up talking about business, importation and Vietnam.

The actress revealed that just as she was about to walk away, she felt God spoke to her, telling her that the man was her husband, but she blocked his number two days after.

Ruth Kadiri added that she was in another relationship at the time, but she eventually went on a date with him later, and that sharing parts of her relationship publicly has helped her stay committed to the journey.

"As I was about to walk away, the Spirit of God told me he's my husband. Two days later, I blocked him, but he went the extra mile to find me. Four months later, he proposed to me, and I accepted."
