Nollywood star Yvonne Jegede has candidly stated she is not actively looking for marriage, viewing the institution as overrated despite remaining open to future possibilities. The 42-year-old actress, who ended her two-year marriage to colleague Olakunle "Abounce" Fawole in 2019 amid financial imbalances and respect issues, shared these thoughts during a recent Naija FM Lagos interview.
She reflected on long-term couples who divorce shortly after wedlock, questioning why the "marriage tag" introduces intolerance absent in prior relationships.
Jegede, a single mother to a son born during her union, expressed regret over prioritizing love over financial stability, having shouldered most household responsibilities.
While clarifying no desperation drives her stance, she emphasized learning not to say "never" to remarriage if it naturally arises. Her comments resonate amid ongoing discussions on celebrity divorces and evolving views on marital pressures in Nollywood.
