Lilian Kumah, who tied the knot in a private ceremony on December 19, 2025, has explained that her children prayed to God to give her a man to comfort her.
In a viral video, she spoke about how God had answered her prayers and given her a man who understands and loves her unconditionally.
The new celebrity bride explained that she did not know her new husband beforehand, and explained that they had met during a business meeting.
She emphasised that Samuel Aryeequaye was not a replacement for John Kumah, but a man God had given her to help her fulfil her purpose in life.

She stated:
"Over the years, if you have known me, you know that I believe in forward ever, backwards never. I prayed to God that I could not go out or stay anywhere. I have made up my mind that I will move forward at all costs. I will not allow pain to cage me.
"I had never met Samuel before, and I didn’t know him. It was love at first sight, and I was only here when they arrived for an alliance or business. He started after me as soon as he noticed me, but fortunately, I was ready. God provided a very modest and kind man in response to our plea.
"He is not a substitute. No one expressed a desire for a successor. God provides a companion at every stage of life, and I am grateful that He has given me a young man who is brave, visionary, and modest."
