Veteran Yoruba actress Toyosi Adesanya has opened up about her past marital struggles, revealing how her ex-husband attempted to date one of her colleagues in the film industry.She also shared some of the reasons their marriage was short-lived.
In an interview posted on the official YouTube channel of Wasilacoded TV, Toyosi recounted how a colleague confided in her, disclosing that her ex-husband had approached her with intentions of starting a relationship.
In her statement, she said, “One of my movie colleagues told me that my husband toasted her and promised to marry her. The actress told me that she cannot betray the trust I have in her, that is why she cannot be in a relationship with my husband. After she told me everything, I was determined to end the marriage and move on with my life.”
She continued with “For me, I wish to be married. For someone like me, I’ve been in a marriage and people were asking me how I would cope with stardom. I left Lagos for Akure, which is a four-hour journey, but I was determined it wouldn’t affect my stardom. I made all that sacrifice in that marriage.
I really put in an effort in my marriage. I was married for 15 years. I tried so much in my marriage that the elder in the industry knew I did. The person I married didn’t offend me, but he allowed the devil into the marriage. The house that I built with him, I left it for him because my life is important.
When he left me to go abroad, I went to meet him there and even used my money to transport myself there because I wanted to make my marriage work.
