I would have gone for money instead of love. I left my marriage because I was providing more than my ex-husband’ – Yvonne Jegede
Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede revealed that she ended her marriage because she was contributing more financially than her ex-husband.
In 2019, Jegede confirmed the dissolution of her marriage to actor Olakunle ‘Abounce’ Fawole, just a year after their wedding.
In a teaser for an upcoming episode of ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast, Jegede expressed regret over prioritizing love over financial stability.
She also mentioned that their divorce was partly due to her ex-husband interpreting every joke as disrespect because he was older than her.
She said: “He [my ex-husband] is eight years older than me. But the moment we got married, if I tell am say, ‘You dey craze, ‘ he would say I’m disrespecting him. I would if it was the same person I got married to.
“But that wasn’t the main reason I left the marriage. Let me just say the fact, I was bringing more of the money. I’m taking care of my son like nobody exist around me. It’s not easy. I would have gone for money instead of love.”
