Josephine: Baptised Five Years Ago, My Parents Let Me Choose My Own Religion

In a recent interview, singer Josephine opened up about her baptism, her deep faith in God, and her relationship with Nino.

Speaking on the show "MEGA Good Morning," Josephine shared, "I'm living my dream, thank God everything is going very well. I have a strong belief in God, and I was baptized about five years ago. My parents allowed me to choose my own religion, and that greatly helped me. After my baptism, my first song became a hit. I asked my grandmother, Irene, to baptize me, and she's also my godmother. I was baptized in a traditional ceremony in a baptismal font. It was just three of us in the church: me, my grandmother, and my sister. I needed to be baptized to feel God's blessing. Since then, everything has been going positively for me."

Regarding her relationship with her mother, who is also a singer, Josephine commented, "My mother was a singer and sang everything. When I told her I wanted to become a singer too, she said, 'Stay away, I don't want you involved in this.' From a young age, I watched my mom on stage, and once I got up there with her. She didn't like it and scolded me. My mom is a very strict critic. She's happy for me because she feels like I'm pursuing the career she couldn't. I still remember when she had her first hit, I was 9 years old."

Josephine added, "My mother approves of my relationship with Nino."

Discussing her relationship with fellow singer Nino and their daily life as a couple, she remarked, "I really like it when Nino wears glasses since he's nearsighted. At home, we're simple; neither of us makes much of an effort with appearances."

Finally, Josephine explained, "For me, the most important thing in a relationship is honesty and having a clear understanding; that's where I say 'forever.' I don't like jealousy at all. I neither show if I'm jealous nor give any reason for jealousy. I'm independent and don't entertain pettiness; I assert, 'I am Josephine.'"
