Veteran Nollywood actress, Shaffy Bello has opened up on why she left her marriage after 25 years of being married.
During a candid conversation with famous media personality Chude Jideonwo, the actress said that the fundamental cause of her marriage’s collapse was her long-distance relationship with her ex-husband, Akinrimisi, who lived in the United States.
Shaffy Bello revealed that, while her ex-husband was a fantastic father to their children, she wanted for more in her personal life.
However, the problems of frequently traveling back and forth to sustain the connection took a toll on her well-being and ultimately compromised the durability of their marriage.
She said;
“He [my ex-husband] was a good father to his children. But I got to a place where I wanted more. And I would always travel back and forth. But I knew at a point that if I really want this, it came with a sacrifice.
It wasn’t a sacrifice of marriage, but then he being there [USA] and the distance didn’t help.”
