Victoria Lebene bio: Age, family, background, career and life story
The beautiful Victoria Lebene is one of Ghana's most famous actresses. Although she has made a name for herself through her career, Victoria is probably remembered more for having dated Kofi Adjorlolo. That was the onset of controversies with people claiming that she was in a relationship with a guy twice her age just for his money. She disputed those claims many times, but it appeared that she was fighting a losing war and eventually broke up with Kofi.

People became interested in the dating life of Victoria Lebene when rumours emerged that she was seeing veteran actor and producer Kofi Adjorlolo. She received backlash and criticism from people who could not understand why she went for a guy old enough to be her father.
Others claimed that she was in a relationship for money. She denied those claims indicating that Mr. Adjorlolo never bought her a house or car, so she was not in the relationship for money. However, she ended up the relationship due to pressure from her family and her fans. This is what Mrs. Victoria had this to say about the relationship:
I want to make it up to my father, and the reason is that he hasn't agreed with the wedding and the whole marriage thing going on between Kofi Adjorlolo and me. It is something that has always been at the back of my mind that my father is not in support of it. So I have decided to make my father proud and let him know that I have listened to him, and I don't want the marriage to come between my father and me because he is one of the reasons I am who I am today.
