Yvonne Jegede, a Nollywood actress, has shared her thoughts on marriage, saying she thinks it’s overrated.
The 42-year-old actress reportedly stated that while she is not actively seeking a second marriage, she is open to the notion if it occurs spontaneously.
In an interview with Naija FM, Jegede clarified that many partnerships alter after marriage, with long-term partners occasionally ending their relationship quickly.
She questioned if marriage as an institution always makes relationships better, implying that it frequently fosters intolerance.
Finding someone you love and living together without being married can be preferable, she suggested.
“I am open to remarriage if it comes, but I am not looking for it,” she stated. I’ve learned not to use the word “never.”
Marriage is overrated, in my opinion. Many people who dated for ten to fifteen years ended up getting married and divorcing within two to three years. There are moments when you wonder why these couples didn’t simply stay single. Because a lot of intolerance comes in the way when they add the marriage tag.
“I believe it is preferable to find your true love and simply live with them.”
Remember that the actress’s prior marriage to Olakunle Abounce Fawole terminated in less than a year in 2019?
She cited her ex-husband’s incapacity to manage the relationship and treat her with respect as well as financial difficulties as the reasons behind their breakup.
In previous interviews, Jegede acknowledged that she had been the primary provider during the marriage and expressed sorrow for putting love above financial stability.
