Speculation about Afua Asantewaa's marriage became rife in July 2025, after she shared a confusing video on social media.
In the video, the media personality showcased a tall, attractive young man decked out in trendy gym attire, whom she described as her ideal man.

While sharing the clip of her ideal man, Afua Asantewaa also gave a glimpse of her actual husband, Kofi Owusu, a prominent sports journalist in Ghana.
