Drawing up a list of Nollywood actresses with broken homes comes really easy. Mention five random actresses and you will find out that, at least, three of them have been in one unstable relationship or the other. Many of them have also been in multiple failed relationships.

There is the belief that because they are popular, they get more love advances from men than an average lady. They also get more tempted with gifts and money, which, most times, are difficult to resist.

In a chat with a respected movie producer, he explained that actresses worldwide are sough after by rich men and men in power. And Nollywood is not an exception.

“It is not easy for these actresses too. As human beings, we all want the best for ourselves. You have an actress, who is married and a top political figure is promising her an amount money she and her husband can never make in their life time just to sleep with her. When the husband finds out, they fight and the marriage is dissolved. The next thing you hear, the girl has gone ahead to build a house in Lekki. There are many instances like that. Have you seen an actress who marries an average man? They all marry rich men, even when they are married, richer men are still chasing after them,” the producer said.

This is not the case for all other Nollywood marriages. There have been cases of husband snatching among actresses. Also, there are many, who claim that they were abused by their husbands hence, they decided to opt out of the marriage.

This, however, does not mean that there are not some who are happily married with children and have retained this status for years.

there are actresses, who despite the temptations, still remain with their husbands, and still believe in the sanctity of the marriage institution. They also serve as good role models for others, who probably have seen the industry as a hotbed of failed marriages.
