Social media is abuzz with reactions after videos from actor Collins Oteng, popularly known as Okomfo Kolege, went viral following his recent wedding.

The Kumawood actor has remarried in a private ceremony, attended by close friends and family, two years after the passing of his wife.

In the viral footage from the traditional marriage ceremony, held on 20th October 2024, Okomfo Kolege is seen donning a kente outfit, while his new wife stunned in a two-piece kente gown. The couple radiated joy as they posed for the cameras.

However, not all netizens are pleased with the actor’s decision to remarry. Some have criticised him for what they view as remarrying "too soon," recalling his deep grief after his wife’s passing. These critics consider his quick remarriage hypocritical, contradicting his earlier statements about being too heartbroken to move on.

Others, however, expressed happiness for him, stating that two years is sufficient time to heal and start afresh.

In a previous interview with Delay, Okomfo Kolege had shared his fears about moving on after his wife’s death, saying: "We are praying about it. The fear is overwhelming. This doesn't feel like the right time."

He also expressed his anxiety about remarriage and childbirth, stating: "I’m gripped with the fear of marriage and childbirth. Even if I come across anyone who looks like my wife, I get startled."
