Popular Nigerian media personality Daddy Freeze has opened up about the circumstances surrounding his first marriage, revealing that pregnancy was the primary reason for going through with the union. In a candid interview, Freeze explained that both he and his ex-wife, Opeyemi, were very young and emotionally immature at the time, with him being 24 and her 22 years old.
He admitted that if the pregnancy had not occurred, he was unsure whether they would have married at all, describing their marriage as "two damaged people trying to make something work." The relationship eventually ended in divorce, an experience he described as emotionally draining, especially due to the strained relations and prolonged estrangement from his children.
Daddy Freeze also highlighted ongoing challenges, including accusations that his ex-wife denied him access to their children, who now live abroad. Despite the heartbreak, he respects their space and refrains from forcing contact. He contrasted this painful past with his current marriage, where he emphasizes a more peaceful and committed partnership.
