Veteran Nollywood Actress, Shaffy Bello has opened up about her 25-year marriage and why she ended it.
The actress claimed she divorced her estranged husband, Mr. Akinrimisi, due to their long-distance relationship during an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo.
Shaffy claimed that because of the distance in her marriage, she decided to get a divorce.
Shaffy Bello previously stated that she does not want to get married since she believes there are enough women in the world.
Shaffy revealed this in an episode of “Mercy’s Menu” that she prefers company and wants to settle down with a partner, but not in the traditional marital context. Shaffy was speaking with fellow actress Mercy Johnson at the time.
She Said;
“He [my ex-husband] was a good father to his children. But I reached a point where I wanted more. I would always travel back and forth, but I realized that if I really wanted this, it came with sacrifices. It wasn’t sacrificing the marriage itself, but rather, him being there [in the USA] and the distance didn’t help.”
“I am a one man kind of woman and I believe there is a lot of women here to fill a home.
That is why when I meet people or go on a date, they are women. I want to settle with someone at the end of the day, I don’t want to be 55 and then go out or have a birthday party and then come home and be all alone, I don’t want that. I want to be with someone, maybe not marriage, but a companion.”
