Goldie's Husband Andrew Harvey Shares Their Wedding Photos In Her Memory

Goldie's husband, Andrew Harvey has shared photographs of the couple together. From their wedding photographs to more recent photographs of them together in a Facebook album tagged "Memories of my Darling wife."

According to him, the date was December 8, 2005 for their traditional wedding and December 10, 2005 for their church wedding.

Mr. Harvey also appealed to Prezzo to “Leave our family to grieve in peace. You have caused enough hurt and pain” via his Facebook page. See the pictures below..




















Prezzo, Please Leave Our Family To Grieve In Peace. You Have Caused Enough Hurt & Pain - Mr. Harvey

 
Andrew Harvey, the widower of the Nigerian singing sensation, Goldie Harvey, who passed on on Thursday night has warned the first runner-up in the 2012 Big Brother All Star TV reality Show, Prezzo, to keep away from the musician’s family as he and other relatives mourn his wife’s death.

Mr. Harvey was reacting to reports that Prezzo, the 32 year old Kenya rapper was so devastated by Goldie’s death that he immediately jumped on a plane to  Nigeria. Both Goldie and Prezzo were fellow contestants in last year’s Big Brother All Star TV reality Show, where they appeared to have hit it off.

But after sharing the report on his Facebook Page, Mr. Harvey, a senior contracts engineer based in Kuala Lumpur, left a comment, warning the Kenyan to keep away, saying the musician had caused the family enough trouble already.

“Prezzo, please, leave our family to grieve in peace,” Mr. Harvey, who appears to be in England at the moment, said. “You have caused enough hurt and pain.”

He did not provide details of the pain Prezzo had caused. But his comment left many (who apparently didn’t know Goldie was married) wondering where Mr. Harvey was while his wife appeared to have a sizzling romance with Prezzo.

“Goldie and  Prezzo’s relationship was not a secret. Where was the hubby all this while? It doesn’t make sense unless they were separated,”  Aluwani Ndou, commented.

Mr. Marvey then explained,  “BBA is no different than being in a movie, some actors have to live with their wives “acting” certain scenes in movies, that goes with the job.  If you love each other and nothing untoward happens so what!”

But in this video, Goldie opened up on Prezzo, admitting a relationship between them.

Prezzo had visited Nigeria last August, telling a select group of journalists he was in the country to win back Goldie, who he described as his love interest, Goldie.

According to him, he travelled all the way from his native country to apologize and propose to Goldie, if she gives him an
opportunity.

Below is an excerpt of what he told journalists at the time.

The Genesis

“I went into the house with the mind to make my country proud and make the money and along the line, I developed feelings for Goldie and I still do up till now as I speak. We have not spoken together as I speak, so I am here to get a hold of her and apologize. Ever since the show ended, I have not been the same as I have been thinking about her (Goldie). From what was supposed to be just a game, I developed feelings for her. I just want her to give me just 30mins. I pray she answers my call, because I feel everything happens for a reason. There were a couple of ladies in the house, but my mind chose her. Goldie and I are on the same path that is why we flowed together.”

Intentions

“During my stay in the house, I told Biggie about my feelings for Goldie on several occasions so I was not playing games with Goldie. The most important thing as far as I am concerned, is what happens outside the house when the cameras are off and not inside the house. I have no regrets going into Big Brother house; it was an experience of a lifetime. I am here just for Goldie and not to build a fan base in Nigeria. I want Goldie to give this Maasai Warrior one more chance. Honestly, the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step once Goldie picks up her call we can pick it up from there because I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I know it is not easy to convince Goldie but I love her and I know the feeling is mutual. When I left Kenya to SA, my mission was to win the money and make my country proud but when I got into the house, as an individual nature took its course and I developed feelings for her even as I speak to you now.”

His Past

No married man with his right senses will go into the competition. I was once married but we have been separated for two and a half years now but we have a beautiful daughter together. My divorce is an ongoing process; we don’t live together any longer. My ex wife knows that our relationship cannot work so there is no string attached as far as we are both concerned. It didn’t work out so we went our separate ways.

For anyone who feels I offended them while I was in the competition, I ask for their forgiveness. Remember the house can bring out the best or worst from anybody. I have a mother, sister and daughter so I am really sorry.”

Goldie's Husband Issued A Warning To Prezzo

It would have been disappointing if drama did not follow her death. Goldie, the unpredictable Goldie is pulling surprises even in death.

Just last night, a man believed to be her husband emerged, posting intimate pictures on Facebook, sharing same on her twitter handle, and engaging with several curious fans (he even issued a warning to Prezzo, the man many of us have come to know as the late singer’s bonafide partner).

There were rumours she may have been married or involved with an expatriate, but no one could confirm during her lifetime. But what was hidden for years tore the lid and came out last night, with the startling revelation by the man whose name is Andrew Harvey.

While still mourning his wife and preparing to come to Lagos, he was kind enough to speak exclusively with Nigerian Entertainment Today

So sorry about your loss. And so sorry to be contacting you under this circumstance. Nigerians are shocked to discover, through your FB post, that Goldie was married. I’m wondering if you’ll able to give me more details, and if we can have your permission to print some of the photos in the folder ‘Memories of my darling wife’?

You may print the photos, as for the details it really depends on what it is you’re looking for

Thanks Andrew. Just to clarify a few things

Like?

When did you wed her? And were you still married as at when she passed yesterday?

We wed in December 2005 and were very much married when she passed indeed I was talking to her on arrival in Lagos before the fateful event

I see you moved back to England. Do you have another family?

I work in Malaysia, we have a private home in UK, I do not have a second family

Also did you have kids together?

No kids, we were planning this year

There had been speculation for many years that she was married to an ‘oyinbo’ man. But no one could lay hands on anything. Why did you keep it a ‘secret’?

Our private life is nothing to do with work life, there has to be a balance

How did you hear of her death? I found out you last saw her in December?

I was talking to her on arrival in Lagos before the fateful event

How did you meet her? She must have been very young…

I met her at a friend’s leaving party and fell in love straight away, but had to work hard to persuade her I was genuine

So you will be planning to come here for burial rites…

Yes I have applied for visa and shall come next week

But how did you manage the Prezzo drama?

Prezzo was part of BBA game, just like in the movies, there was nothing to fear

But funny it dragged way beyond BBA

It dragged because the media dragged it, other wise it would have died naturally. Prezzo will say anything to get attention

Do you think he fell in love? And did you ever think Susan liked him for a minute…?

People fall in love and it’s not impossible to love more than one person, but there are different levels. She liked him initially, but began to despise him and distanced herself as he tried to use her she complained he was very manipulative

How did you come about your alias ‘Oyibopeppay?

Oyiiibopeppay is a name used in the villages for white man getting burned in the sun. I used to work in the bush erecting BTS for MTN and Glo

You have direct access to her password? The memories album was posted on her twitter. Or you requested for an admin to post?

I am an official admin. I don’t need any password but my own. It was authorised by Goldie

One last question: so much speculation on cause of death. I see from your facebook timeline that you’ve followed the reports. Have the doctors/family/label told you what the cause of death is?

An autopsy is being carried out and we will await results. The rest is speculation and hearsay

And did she have any medical condition?

She had no medical condition,

Is it true she was in India recently?

She was in Malaysia, we spent Christmas together away from prying eyes

What will you miss most about her?

Everything, she was the most beautiful person I ever met, no moment was wasted. Sweet, intelligent, sexy and a magnificent cook!!!!

And she was a determined young lady…

Very. That’s what I liked about her

Are you originally from England? Was she officially a citizen of your country by marriage? Or that was not concluded?

I’m from England and was processing Nigerian citizenship before I was transferred to Malaysia. Of course she was citizen of UK before we met, she lived and schooled there

She was indeed a star, as I’m sure you’ve seen from the tributes coming from far and near. Even the BBC and Billboard recognise her star

Yes we saw it on BBC news tonight. It is a devastating loss, but I support just as much wherever she has gone to.

May her soul rest in peace

Thank you.

Prezzo's Sorrowful Poem For Goldie

Kenyan Rapper Jackson Makini a.k.a Prezzo has finally broken his silence on the passing of his Nigerian girlfriend, Goldie Harvey.

In a sorrowful  poem shared on his Facebook page he described his pain at the loss his fellow BBA StarGame contestant.

“God saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not meant to be
 
So he put his arms around you, and whispered come with me
With tearful eyes we watched you, as we saw you pass away
Although we love you deeply, we could not make you stay
Your golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest
 
God broke our hearts to prove to us...
He only takes the best"

Prezzo and Goldie had been dating since their stint in the Big Brother house.
