Ivy Ifeoma, wife of P-Square star Paul Okoye aka Rudeboy, has set social media buzzing after revealing her financial status before marriage and dropping advice for women.

Taking to Instagram during a Q&A session with fans on Tuesday, Ivy made it known that she was already a millionaire when she met her husband.

A fan had asked if she felt “lucky” to marry a celebrity. Ivy responded by stressing financial independence, urging women to build themselves first. 

“Don’t go into marriage hoping a man will save you. Save yourself first. Build, work, invest. Then choose love from abundance, not lack,” she stated.

Ivy Ifeoma, a model and entrepreneur, married Paul Okoye in a traditional ceremony in Abia State in May 2024. The couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter, in 2024. Paul was previously married to Anita Okoye, with whom he shares three children.

Ivy runs a skincare brand and has worked as an influencer for years before her relationship with Paul became public in 2022.

Ivy ended the Q&A with, “Marry your friend, not your ATM. But also, be your own ATM first.”
