Popular Kumawood actor Okomfo Kolege has finally broken his silence on recent rumours that he had got married once again.

In an exclusive interview with Kwaku Manu TV, Kolege indicated that he had not remarried but was instead standing in as a proxy groom for an undisclosed relative living abroad.

"I've stayed quiet about this whole issue...I have stood in as a husband for some relatives abroad, and I don't see anything wrong with that," he stated.

The actor also challenged the public's reaction to the possibility of his remarriage. For him, it was wrong for anybody to criticise him even if he had truly remarried.

"Let's say the phogt that circulated is true. What's wrong with remarrying after my wife passed away two years ago? Would Ghanaians prefer I fornicate or settle down?" he questioned.

Kolege opened up about his grieving process following the loss of his wife, Millicent Oteng, who tragically passed away during childbirth on November 17, 2022.

"I am the only one who truly felt the pain and trauma when I lost my wife. I moved from Kumasi to Accra to help me cope with the grief," he shared.
