Veteran Nollywood actress and singer, Shaffy Bello, has taken to social media to reveal why she left her 25-year marriage.
Speaking to media personality, Chude Jideonwo, the actress said she ended their marriage because it was a long-distance relationship since her ex-husband, Mr. Akinrimisi, lives in the United States.
According to Shaffy Bello, the long distance of their marriage didn’t help, so she decided to divorce.
“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.” She said.
She further stated that coping with the situation became very difficult for her, which ultimately led to her decision to get a divorce.
A while back, Shaffy Bello announced that she doesn’t want to get married because she feels there are enough women in the world.
Sharing her thoughts with fellow actress, Mercy Johnson on an episode of “Mercy’s Menu,” Shaffy indicated that she prefers companionship and would like to settle down with a partner, but not in the traditional setting.
She said;
“I am a one-man kind of woman and I believe there are 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.”
