“I’m not interested in his money or fame” – Aisha Tamba Sadio, Mane’s 18-year-old wife
The 18-year-old bride of Senegalese football sensation Sadio Mane, Aisha Tamba, has made a rare confession regarding their recent marriage: she says she isn’t interested in the player’s notoriety or wealth.
Former Liverpool player Sadio Mane, who now plays for Al Nassr, married Aisha Tamba on January 7 in an Islamic ceremony in Keur Massar, a Senegalese neighborhood of Dakar.
The couple’s union has garnered a lot of attention, especially considering that Mane is a multi-millionaire football player who makes an astounding £650,000 every week.
Aisha, who comes from a lowly family, lived in a modest area of Dakar with about thirty relatives living in her home.
She is steadfast in her resolve to stay loyal to her roots despite the striking contrast between her former existence and the opulent living that comes with Mane’s success.
Aisha gave her opinion on her new life in a statement obtained by MailOnline via a relative:
“I am looking forward to my new life, and I know that it will be very different. But I do not feel any pressure because Sadio’s fame and money will not change me becaue i’m not interested in them. I will remain a humble person committed to my faith.”
“I’m not used to having so much attention on me because we are a very private family. We don’t like to show off and speak about our personal lives. I am a very down-to-earth person, this is how I was raised, and nothing will be different just because of this marriage.”
