Actor Hanks Anuku Shares Reason Why He Won’t Marry A Nigerian Woman

Hanks Anuku Opens Up on Marriage Plans, Says He Prefers a Foreign Wife

Renowned Nollywood actor Hanks Anuku has shared his intention to remarry but stated that he does not wish to marry a Nigerian woman.

Reflecting on his past experiences, Anuku revealed that the challenges of his previous marriage to his ex-wife from Asaba left him hesitant about marrying a Nigerian again.

He further explained that he and the mother of his two children are not compatible, making reconciliation unlikely.

The veteran actor emphasized that he finds greater compatibility with Caucasian women, noting that he built strong friendships with many while living abroad.

Speaking in a recent episode of Nollywood Hardcore, The Legend’s Untold Story, Anuku said, “My marriage failed because we were not compatible. It was a wrong marriage. She is not the mother of my kids. But I had a stepdaughter she came with from a previous relationship.

“I have been divorced for more than 10 years. I’m not married to anybody yet but I have another lady who has two kids for me. She has a son and daughter for me and they live together with their mother. I’m not married again. I’m not married after separating from my first wife. I don’t want to get married to any Nigerian. Because I went through a lot of psychological trauma and all that. I never expected that I was going to be separated from her. It hurt me. But I had to move on.

“I thought I had a chance to get married again but it never happened. The mother of my kids is not the kind of woman I want to get married to. So, we are just friends. She has two kids for me don’t mean I have to marry her. She is just my friend. I’m doing what I can. I like to be married and be happy in the marriage. I have dated for a couple of years and I know that she wasn’t going to be my wife. I like to be in love with somebody and not just be infatuated. Agape love, the greatest of love is what I want in any woman I’m going to get married to.

“It’s not that I don’t want to get married, I’m just scared of Nigerian women. Overseas, I had Caucasian female friends. If I had to go back, it would be a bit too late now. Maybe, if I go on vacation and I find a friend… I found myself a lot more compatible with Caucasian women. When I was overseas, I never dated any coloured woman. Blonde women are my specs. They never bothered me until I came to Nigeria.

“My ex-wife is a Nigerian woman from Asaba. I was in love with her. We were cool together but she was always demanding for money. And she also asked me to stop acting because she was jealous of other women being around me. I told her I couldn’t stop acting.”
