Veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie, has confirmed the marriage crash of his junior colleague, Chioma Chukwuka-Akpotha.
Though there was speculation that Chioma’s marriage to her husband, Franklyn, whom she married in 2016, broke up, those rumors have never been confirmed.
Chioma herself has neither confirmed nor denied the rumors about the separation of the marriage. She also managed well to keep her husband and children out of the public eye, so rumors of divorce remained pure speculation.
However, her senior colleague in the Nigerian film industry, Pete Edochie, seems to have confirmed the rumors in the meantime.
In a recent interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, Pete Edochie said he was shocked to hear news about Chioma’s divorce and other actresses in the industry.
The veteran actor also expressed concern about the increasing number of divorce cases in the Nollywood film industry, particularly among actresses. He further pointed out that marriage is meant to be for better or worse.
In his words,
“If you come to our Industry today, most of our ladies who got married 2- 3 years ago have all left their husbands, I was shocked that Chioma Chukwa had left her husband, Ireti Doyle, Tonto Dikeh. You take a vow when you are going to get married for better or worst, not for better or out. You will always think it’s greener on the other side, that is the mistake we all make”.
