Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has disclosed that she left her marriage because her ex-husband was making less money than she was.
2019 saw Jegede officially announce the dissolution of her union with actor Olakunle “Abounce” Fawole, just a year after their wedding.
The actress expressed her remorse for selecting love over money in a teaser for the next episode of the podcast “The Honest Bunch.”
She added that part of the reason they divorced was because her ex-husband took offense at every joke because he was older than her.
She said: “Hemy ex-husband] is eight years older than me. But the moment we got married, if I tell am say, ‘You dey crease, ‘ 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.”
