Ace Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has stated that it would be impossible for her husband, Matthew Ekeinde, to leave her or their union.
Naija News reports that Omotola, while speaking on the Afropolitan Podcast, said divorce has never been a consideration in her 30-year marriage.
The movie attributed the success of their marriage to her husband’s selflessness, absence of ego, and the deep trust they share.
According to Omotola, throughout their three decades together, she has never fought her husband over a girl, noting that she does not have such problems.
She emphasised that marriage is a deeply personal matter, and her perspective should not be seen as imposing a standard for others.
The actress further explained that leaving the marriage would be nearly impossible, adding that even if she walked away from her union, she would remain a part of his life, making it difficult for anyone else to come between them.
She said, “Divorce isn’t an option for me. That doesn’t mean it isn’t an option for you. I am not against divorce; I just believe that marriage is a very personal matter. My marriage can never be the same as yours.
“No two marriages are alike because no two people are alike. The ingredients might not be the same. My husband is a very selfless person; he has no ego.
“I’ve been married to him for over 30 years, and and I have never fought with a girl over him. I don’t have those kinds of problems. He doesn’t bother me. If I need to go do my work, he trusts me completely, and I trust him.
“So, it would be very hard for another person to negatively affect our marriage because I’ve known him since I was 16. I almost don’t know what he could do now that would make me dislike him to the point of hate.
“Even if I decided to walk away from this relationship tomorrow, which I think will never happen, there would still be an issue because the next woman would have to deal with me, as I will still be a part of his life. I’m too close to him to just leave, and he can’t get rid of me either.”
