Segun Arinze, a renowned Nollywood actor, has recently shared insights into why he chose to remain single after his 12-year marriage came to an end.
Following his divorce from actress Anne Njemanze in 1996, the 58-year-old actor took a 12-year break before tying the knot with Julie in 2008.
In a candid interview with media personality Chude, Segun Arinze revealed that after his divorce from Njemanze, he experienced a period of confusion in finding the right partner.
He admitted that he had been involved in multiple relationships before finally turning to God in 2007 and praying for a suitable wife.
He said;
“I stayed out of marriage after the first one crashed. I stayed out of marriage for like 12 years before I remarried. I remarried in 2008. Not that I gave up on marriage, I was just really confused about getting the right person.
“I got into so many crazy relationships. Both the ones that were good, crazy, and bad I have seen all. That year, 2007. I cried to God and said ‘Father Lord I have had enough can you just give me a wife’. I said just find me a wife. I remember I cried.
“And then I went to a wedding and I saw this beautiful woman. I asked my PA to get her number but he came back because he was scared. Julius Agwu and I were the MCs at the event. It was Don Chi’s wedding. And Julius Agwu said ‘My brother dey look for wife o’. When I sat I went to meet her, collected her contact and then invited her to a dinner. That is how it started. The rest is history.
“We are sixteen years in marriage now with three lovely kids. She is a lawyer. She is also my legal adviser.
“When that happened to me in 1997 I kept quiet. I did not say anything. I just let it go. Till date I said nothing and I do not want to say anything. I do not want to discuss anything about it. It happened. The shit will always happen. Everybody has a closet.”
