I Cried The Day My Ex-Husband Remarried – Yoruba Actress Biodun Okeowo

Popular Yoruba actress, Biodun Okeowo, in a recent interview, opened up on her past relationship and also revealed why she wept the day she learnt that her former husband had remarried.

Her words: “I don’t regret leaving my ex. In fact, I don’t feel anything for him anymore. No pains, no regrets. He tried to get me back but I just couldn’t continue with him.

“The day I felt bad and cried was the day I heard he has remarried. That he actually paid someone else’s bride price made me cry. In my case, my family were begging him to come and pay.”

The actress has since learnt her lessons and is now looking out for certain criteria in any man she may want to have as a partner.

“Trust and God,” Okeowo intones, adding, “The man must be God fearing. Any marriage that has sincere trust and God will survive. The problem with actresses and their spouses is lack of trust. They feel whenever you step out for weeks for a shoot, some funny things happened along the way.

“The media too is not helping matters, they cook up all kinds of stories and your partner might swallow them hook, line and sinker. In fact, there was this story I read about myself; that my ex-husband chased me out of his house because of infidelity. I was surprised because such a thing never happened. If it did, he wouldn’t have come back asking to reconcile with me. I never cheated on my ex for once. I might be temperamental but not a cheat.”
