Though no date has been announced for the wedding yet, the actress is set to silence her critics as plans are in top gear for the wedding, which is very likely to hold soon.
Contrary to some reports that the wedding plans have hit a brickwall due to the fact that the groom-to-be parents didn’t want their son to marry Stephanie, the actress said there is no iota of truth in the reports.
Speaking with P.M.NEWS on phone yesterday, Stephanie, who has just featured in a Hollywood flick titled Through The Glass, declined to give details of the wedding plans now, but confirmed she has no problem whatsoever with her fiancée’s parents as it was being rumoured.
“My brother, I have decided not to talk about this issue for now, but trust me; you will be among the first people to know when I’m ready to make the plans public. Everything is in order and I don’t have problem with anybody,” said Stephanie.
In August 2004, Stephanie got married to former Super Eagles player, Chikelue, but the union was officially dissolved in January 2007 on mutual grounds.
Born in Imo State in 1982, Stephanie Onyekachi Okereke is the sixth child of eight children. A model and film director, she emerged the first runner-up in the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria [MBGN], beauty pageant in 2002, and ever since, her career has been on a steady rise.
This ebony-skinned actress has actually carved a niche for herself, clinching awards both from the local and foreign scenes. Some of her awards include 2003 Reel Award for Best Actress, 2006 Afro Hollywood Award for Best Actress among others.
What almost wrecked her flourishing career happened in April 2005 when she had a close shave with death. She was involved in an auto crash. She was actually on her way to Yenagoa, Bayelsa State for the Africa Movie Academy Awards [AMAA] when she had the accident.

Stephanie does not like talking about her crashed marriage with the ex-Super Eagles footballer, but she acknowledged that he was a shoulder for her to lean on during the time of the accident. She was flown abroad for proper medical attention, and it took her almost a year to bounce back in front of the cameras.
“Yes, he stood by me when I had an accident but it was his responsibility to take care of somebody he claimed he loved and was his woman. It is not as if I don’t appreciate the fact that he stood by me, but he was supposed to be there. If he weren’t there, people would start talking,” she said.
