How has she been able to cope with him as a comedian?
The pretty wife responded, “It has been fun. Though not a roller coaster ride
since he is always very busy, we are great friends and understand each other
very well. Aside being a comedian, he also has other sides that I do enjoy—he
is a fantastic cook and gives me special treats from time to time.”
How do they spend time together as a couple?
Tee A, who also anchors a television show, revealed the couple’s way of relaxing:
“That is a tough one. Let’s just say that anytime I am
not busy, we try to spend it together. I operate a very hectic schedule between
anchoring events and producing my TV show, so it can be very demanding. Hence, once
I’m not booked for events or filming, I’m always at home.

Tee A confessed that he gets his wife angry when, “I

Do they spend time alone?
Tee A replied, “We both love travelling for holidays
but we are only able to do that once a year because of my work schedule.
However, we just make the moment count wherever we are at any point in time. As
long as we are together, we are cool.”
