Nollywood actress, Ini Edo has opened
up on her marriage, saying she has no regret breaking up with her
husband of six years.
Ini Edo got married to an
American-based Nigerian businessman, Phillip in 2008. She walked out
of the marriage in September, 2014, following accusations of domestic
violence and cheating.
Speaking on ‘Rubbing Minds’ a
Channel Television programme, the actress cited irresolvable
differences and incompatibility as the major reasons for the crash of
her marriage.
Ini Edo said that closeness should
have, may be, saved her marriage since her former husband was in
America and she in Nigeria.
According to her, “May be being
together would have helped keep us together. Because it would enable
us study and understand each other more. May be it would helped but
I’m not sure.
Asked if her estranged husband was
comfortable with her kind of job, she said, “He met me an actress
and I believe he was okay with that.
“Actually he complained. My work
takes my time and interferes with so many things.
“I tried to keep my(movie) roles as
decent as possible when I got married. But naturally, there are
certain roles you won’t be allowed to play.
“Even when you are allowed to play
them, you can reject them not just because of your husband but you
got relations as well.
Asked if her former husband’s family
interfered in her marriage, she added, “He was the last child, so
family members will try to see if their child is doing okay.
“I try not to regret (the time I
spent in marriage) but I will say, it’s been an experience I have
learnt a lot from. It made me a stronger person. It made me wiser and
I think it actually made me more mature.”
