Veteran Yoruba actress Toyosi Adesanya has opened up about her past marital challenges, revealing how her ex-husband attempted to pursue a romantic relationship with one of her colleagues in the film industry.
In an interview shared on the official YouTube channel of Wasilacoded TV, the actress recounted how a colleague confided in her about the incident. According to Toyosi, the colleague disclosed that her ex-husband had approached her, expressing interest in starting a relationship.
Toyosi also shed light on some of the reasons her marriage did not last, reflecting on the challenges she faced during that period. Her candid revelations provide insight into the personal struggles she endured while navigating her career and private life.
In her statement, she said, “One of my movie colleagues told me that my husband toasted her and promised to marry her. The actress told me that she cannot betray the trust I have in her, that is why she cannot be in a relationship with my husband. After she told me everything, I was determined to end the marriage and move on with my life.”
Toyosi Adesanya continued her heartfelt revelations, expressing her desire for a fulfilling marriage despite the challenges she has faced. Reflecting on her previous marriage, she shared the sacrifices she made to ensure its success.
“For someone like me, I’ve been in a marriage, and people often asked how I would cope with stardom,” she said. “I left Lagos for Akure, a four-hour journey, but I was determined that my career wouldn’t affect my marriage. I made all that sacrifice because I wanted it to work.”
The actress revealed that she was married for 15 years and gave her best to the union. “I tried so much in my marriage that even the elders in the industry knew I did. The person I married didn’t offend me, but he allowed the devil into our home,” she said.
Toyosi went on to explain that she eventually left the house she built with her ex-husband because she prioritized her safety and well-being. “The house that I built with him, I left it for him because my life is important,” she emphasized.
Recounting her efforts to save the marriage, Toyosi revealed that when her husband relocated abroad, she took it upon herself to visit him, even using her own money for the trip. “I went to meet him there because I wanted to make my marriage work,” she concluded, showcasing her commitment to the union despite its eventual breakdown.
