Why I am yet to remarry – Damilola Adegbite

Damilola Adegbite, the Nigerian actress, has revealed why she has not walking down the aisle again since her first marriage ended.

In an Instagram video, the film star disclosed that her decision is driven by one priority: her child’s well-being.

While she admitted to meeting “amazing men,” Adegbite explained that love alone isn’t enough.

“I was having a conversation with a friend of mine, and they asked me a very important question. They asked me why I haven’t remarried after my first marriage,” she said.

“If you are a single mother or raising a child on your own, your decision-making has to be different. You are not just choosing a partner for yourself anymore, you are choosing a second parent for your child.

“There is a deeper question — do they have the morals, the values, the character that I would like my child to grow up around?

“You have to be sure that the person you are bringing into your life is capable of being a good parent — someone who would treat your child like theirs.

“You are not just building a relationship, you are building a home. Choose wisely, not just for you, but for the life you are creating for your children.”

In August 2014, Adegbite got engaged to fellow actor Chris Attoh, whom she met on the set of the soap opera ‘Tinsel’. The couple welcomed their son Brian the following month.

However, by September 2017, news broke that their marriage had ended.
