Veteran Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola has opened up about why she remains unmarried at 52, revealing that her single status is not by choice.
In a recent interview with Pulse Nigeria, the actress disclosed that she has no children and has not yet found the right person to spend her life with. She shared that she once met someone she believed was “the one,” but he passed away, and she has not met anyone else since.
Akintola, whose mother is from Edo State and father from Oyo State, described marriage as a sacred union that should be done in the house of God, surrounded by loved ones. She stressed that honesty and truth are central to her values, and she would never marry unless she was sure she could stay with the person for life. She said:
“I want everything to be in truthfulness. I want to be true to myself and to God. If I meet the right person, even at 78, I would get married.”
While Akintola believes marriage does not define a woman’s worth, she admitted it becomes more important as one grows older, especially for companionship when children have moved on with their own lives.
