First is their love for early marriage and secondly their passion for footballers. Just like her mother, Adaeze got married to her husband, Joseph Yobo on the new year eve, 2010 at the age of 19. Adaeze marriage to Joseph Yobo, a football player is blessed with a boy, Joey who recently celebrated his first birthday in Turkey amidst friends and family.

Soon after settling down in marriage, it dawned on observers that she was following her mum's footstep who also got married quite early to Adaeze's father, though the marriage has since packed up.
