Why Bovi asked wife Kris to keep her maiden name
Kris Asimonye, wife of comedian Bovi Ugboma, has revealed that her husband advised her not to change her surname after their wedding. She shared the story in a recent Instagram post. Kris said the discussion happened early in their marriage, even though they already have three children together. At the time, she did not fully understand why he wanted her to keep her maiden name. She explained that as the years passed and she began building her own brand and professional identity, Bovi’s advice started to make more sense. Keeping her maiden name, she said, has helped her establish herself more clearly in her career. “When I got married, my husband encouraged me not to change my last name. At the time I did not fully understand why. Now, building Kris Asimonye as a brand, I understand completely,” she wrote.
