However, she acknowledged that her work commitments often caused issues and interfered with various aspects of their relationship. While she attempted to maintain decency in her roles after getting married, there were certain roles she had to reject due to family considerations, not just her husband’s preferences.
Ini Edo also addressed the involvement of her former husband’s family in their marriage, explaining that as the youngest child, it was natural for family members to monitor their child’s well-being. Reflecting on her time in the marriage, she expressed that she didn’t regret it but considered it a learning experience that made her stronger, wiser, and more mature.
Overall, Ini Edo candidly shared her perspective on her divorce, emphasizing personal growth and the lessons she gained from the experience.
