Nollywood star Yvonne Jegede recently disclosed that she decided to end her marriage due to the financial dynamics in the relationship, where she found herself being the primary breadwinner.
In a preview of the forthcoming episode of ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast, Jegede expressed her remorse over prioritizing love over financial stability.
She revealed that another contributing factor to the failed marriage was her ex-husband’s tendency to perceive innocent jests as disrespectful due to their age difference, as he was older than her.
She said:
“He [my ex-husband] is eight years older than me. But the moment we got married, if I tell am say, ‘You dey crease, ‘ he would say I’m disrespecting him. I would if it was the same person I got married to.
“But that wasn’t the main reason I left the marriage. Let me just say the fact, I was bringing more of the money. I’m taking care of my son like nobody exist around me. It’s not easy. I would have gone for money instead of love.”
