Linda Mtoba respects the sanctity of her marriage and her husband, so chooses to protect that by keeping him from the limelight.

In an interview with online mag Nounouche, the businesswoman praised her hubby for always having her back and being her support system.

“My husband and I look great together, but it is way deeper, beyond looks. I know that no matter what he will love me and I will love him just as much. We love each other beyond the superficial.

“My husband didn’t choose a life of fame and it is my job to shield him from that. I am unapologetically selfish when it comes to my husband. I value the sanctity of our life together and I want to protect that.”

Linda gave fans a sneak peek into her relationship with her mother in-law during the festive season last year. 

The actress said her husband's parents were in Italy and, as per tradition, were shopping there for family back home.

My in-laws are truly my second family. Mom and dad are in Italy shopping for us and mom has given herself the task of always coming back with 'real' French lingerie [for me]. So she video calls me from the shop — sales assistants are always confused,” she said, adding a screenshot of their WhatsApp conversations.
