Relationship and husband
Taiye is married to her professional footballer husband, Taiwo Awoniyi, whom she first met in high school. Taiwo initially struggled with confidence due to poverty and was too shy to confess his feelings. Interestingly, he started teasingly taking food from her, but to his surprise, she never scolded him, and instead her quiet kindness drew him in.
After returning from a youth tournament in London back in 2010, Taiwo opened up about his feelings but Taiye was not impressed by his initial talk of football. However, after he thanked her for her generosity during their school days, something clicked between the two and they got closer eventually.
