Family interference, distance, caused my marriage to crash – Ini Edo gives details on failed union

Popular Nollywood actress, Ini Edo, has spilled details about her failed marriage to her ex-husband, Philip Ehiagwina.

The thespian who recently sparked engagement rumours, cleared the air about the reason behind her crashed marriage during an interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on the Rubbing Minds show.

According to the mother of one, one of the factors that made her marriage to fail was distance as it did not give them the opportunity to understand each other and this caused serious damage in her marriage.She added that another factor that led to her failed marriage was family interference. Ini Edo said:

“No matter the indifference or incompatibility, if you’re together in love, a lot of things can actually work out.

However, you don’t get to work things out when there is no contact. When you are with someone, and you can’t agree on certain things or find a common ground, I think being together could have actually helped us to understand each other better.

Most of the time, we attract the wrong people, sometimes for the wrong reasons. Because when people come to you because of what they see on TV, it’s hard for them to accept you considering the fact that you are just acting because that is your job.

When they find out that it’s not the real you, it becomes a problem. Marriage is an experi­ence which I don’t regret. My ex-husband met me as an actress. My job takes my time because naturally there are certain roles you are not allowed to play once you are married.

Even if your husband understands, his relatives might not understand. My ex-husband is the last child, so family interference in the marriage was normal.

Marriage has taught me a lot of lessons, it made me wiser and stronger. I think it actually made me more mature. I don’t think I married too early, maybe I was a little bit in a hurry.”
