She said, āI wonāt advise anybody to be in a marriage when youāre not in love with the man. I think thatās the reason a lot of women cheat. In this Lekki, you have too many women who cheat in their marriages.
āFor me, I fell out of love. The man [my ex-husband] was a good man. I fell out of love because of what his family was doing. The family didnāt want me to continue acting. They didnāt want me to do anything acting. They were like, āIf we are going to marry you, youāll stop doing entertainment.ā And I will be like, āEven my mum canāt even stop me. That is my life. Do you know how many years it took me?ā
āHe [my ex-husband] was in support of me. He doesnāt even stress me but because of the whole saga, it was like I was in a place where the people didnāt even understand my vision. They donāt understand what Iām chasing. You need to chase it with me. This is what your wife wants. You canāt kill my dream. This is what Iāve worked for so many years to get here. So, you canāt just wake up and say, āBecause you want to marry me, give up on my dreams.ā
