Ukee Washington's Married Life In Shadows

As much as Ukee enjoys his job, and calls it a vacation instead of work, he faces a fair amount of trouble while dedicating his time with his wife, Laurie during work days.

You saw it right, Ukee is married and has a wife who is a physical therapist at BAYADA Home Health Care in Wilmington, Delaware.

But despite the fact that Ukee has quite an unusual schedule, he makes up for the lost time with his wife on the weekends as he tells delcotimes,

We make up for it on the weekends when I sneak in some early morning golf, and we head to a movie. Yes, matinees. I’ve gone to movies as early as 11 a.m., and never see a show that starts later than 2:45.

If that’s not enough to prove how much he loves his wife, God knows what else he could do to contribute to his married life.

Other than this, Ukee has never talked freely about his married life and the fact that he feels comfortable to keep his married life with wife behind the curtains is pretty respected by his fans.

But the two cousins finally met in 1991 and have been family friends ever since.
