Any Hollywood Movie lover will certainly know about Kerry Washington. But her love life seems to be kept a little bit from the public eye and press.
The beautiful actress got married to a Nigerian Igbo man, who is NFL player, Nnamdi. The actress shared via her instagram page, that she has already got an Igbo name herself!
The Scandal actress revealed that her new Igbo name, which was given to her by her husband’s family, is “Ogechi” in her interview with InStyle Magazine March 2015 issue.
The popular actress got married to former NFL star, Nnamdi Asomugha in July 2013, and told InStyle that her new name, Ogechi, was given to her by her new mother-in-law. Speaking with InStyle, Kerry said and I quote below;
“Nnamdi’s parents are Nigerian immigrants. His father passed when he was young. When you marry
into the Igbo culture, you get a new name. My name is Ogechi. I wear it on a necklace which my mother-in-law gave me as a gift.”
Kerry also went on to revealed that she is not the only one with a ‘Nigerian’ name in her home. Her daughter also has one too from her husband’s family.
