Veteran Yoruba Nollywood actress Yetunde Ogunsola has opened up about her marriage to the late renowned actor Chief Timothy Ishola Ogunsola, popularly known as “I Sho Pepper.”
In a recent interview on her official YouTube channel, the actress revealed that she was her husband’s seventh wife, yet he went on to marry two more women after her.
“When I got married to my husband, I was the seventh wife. After my marriage, he still went ahead and married two more,” she disclosed during the interview.
Ogunsola also shared insights into her husband’s polygamous lifestyle, explaining that most of his wives did not stay with him for long.
According to her, many of them would get pregnant by him and then leave. Despite this, she revealed that she was the most favored among all of her husband’s wives, largely because both she and her husband were actors.
“Because my husband and I are both actors, he favored me more than any of his other wives,” she stated.
When asked if her co-wives were ever jealous of the special treatment she received from their husband, Ogunsola explained that there was no bad blood between them.
She maintained that she had a good relationship with most of her husband’s wives, as they did not see her as a rival but rather as a crucial contributor to the family’s financial stability.
“No, I have a good relationship with most of my co-wives because they just see it as my husband and me being mercenaries who work to provide for them. So, they weren’t jealous because they saw monetary rewards from our work, as we were the ones making most of the money to feed the whole family,” she said.
