βFans of the Nollywood power couple often spark debates online regarding their physical pairing. Sharon noted that comment sections frequently fill with questions about why she chose a βshort manβ or why she wears high heels. This social media chatter prompted the couple to set the record straight in a recent sit-down session.
βThe conversation began with a playful energy as the two stars joked about their identities. This bond mirrors the support shown when Shawn Faqua detailed the sacrifices actors make to stay in the industry. Sharon admitted that the constant focus on her husbandβs height can be frustrating to read.
βSharon corrects the height narrative
βSharon firmly told viewers that her husband does not fit the βshortβ label people give him. She insisted that the visual contrast comes solely from her being very tall. The actress finds the recurring questions about her choice of footwear next to her husband quite amusing.
ββHeβs not that bad heβs not short iβm just very tall okay but heβs not heβs not short but I think thatβs one one thing that people because I donβt know where itβs coming from,β she said.
βSharon further explained that people often misunderstand their proportions when they see them together. She often sees critics asking why she wears heels if he is not tall. She maintains that Shawn is a person of average or good height who simply stands next to a very tall spouse.
βShawn Faqua joins the joke
βShawn did not seem bothered by the online comments as he laughed along with his wife. He even joked about the situation to show he has no height complex. Much like a previous interview about Gilbert Baci crush on his sister Hildaβs friend in the industry, fans are always eager to discuss the private lives of stars.
ββAh baby cut me why you wearing heels why do you wear heels you know heβs not tall like I see your Heβs not a short person so yeah,β she shouted.
βThe couple ended the discussion by reiterating that Shawn is not a short person by any standard. They hope this clarification puts an end to the βshort manβ theories. By addressing it directly, they turned a potential point of criticism into a moment of shared humor.
