The movie star said she left her marriage because she “contributed more financially than Fawole”.
She further stated that her ex-husband taking every joke as disrespect because he was older than her was also part of the reason for their divorce.
“He is eight years older than me. But the moment we got married, if I tell am say, you dey craze, he would say I am disrespecting him. I would wonder if it was the same person I got married to,” she said.
“But that was not the main reason I left the marriage. Let me just say the fact, I was bringing more of the money. I am taking care of my son like nobody exists around me. It is not easy. I would have gone for money instead of love.”
