The KOFI TV interview saw a relaxed Iona seated in a home-style studio wearing headphones as a male host probed her about her personal life.

Iona Reine speaks on her relationship status
The host Kofi Adoma Nwanwani wasted little time getting to the point, pressing Iona on whether she was still married.
Rather than deflect entirely, she acknowledged being available, though she made it clear the word carried a very specific meaning for her.
"I'm available for the work of God," she said with a laugh, before clarifying she was also open to her music shows and other professional commitments.
When pushed further on whether she was available for marriage specifically, Iona Reine's answer was blunt.
She also pushed back on the idea that social media posts can be read as windows into someone's private life, telling the host that a post does not always reflect the author's own experience.
"You can be talking about somebody. You can be sharing somebody's story. You cannot look at somebody's status and on a post and on a zoom say that is exactly what is going on in their lives," she said.
Iona Reine married her sweetheart, Nana Kwame Okrah, a pastor, in a simple wedding at McCarthy Hill in Accra on Thursday, January 11, 2024, and has since transitioned into a gospel musician.
The singer, who rose to prominence in the Ghanaian entertainment industry for her striking resemblance to the late Ebony Reigns, who passed away in a tragic accident on February 8, 2018, and her husband had been in a relationship for a while before tying the knot.
The couple's family and friends attended the private wedding ceremony to celebrate their union, with footage emerging on social media.
Iona and bishop-elect Nana Kwame Okrah share children together in their marriage.
However, in recent months, some netizens have speculated on social media that the couple's marriage has ended, with the singer also fuelling the rumours with cryptic posts on social media.
