The actress clarified that she was actually 19 when she gave birth to her first child, dispelling the myth that she had her first child at the age of 17.

The 55-year-old experienced physical and domestic abuse when she was a teen, as revealed by Chude in his introduction.

She backed up his assertion by claiming that she had no business getting married at the time she did, let alone to the person she selected.

The couple got married in 2004.

Daily Trust reports that 2022 was a roller coaster year for many Nigerian celebrity marriages. As some tied the knots with their lovers, others loosened theirs despite being married for quite a number of years.

Among the celebrity couples that loosened their bonds were Funke Akindele and Abdulrasheed Bello (JJC); Julius Agwu and Ibiere; Paul Okoye and Anita; Basketmouth and Elsie; Korra Obidi and Justin Dean and Sina Rambo and Korth amongst others.
