Nigerian actress Damilola Adegbite has explained why she has chosen not to remarry since the end of her first marriage, saying her decision is guided by her responsibility as a mother.
In a video shared on Instagram, the actress said her priority is her child’s well-being, adding that love alone is not enough when choosing a partner.
“I was having a conversation with a friend of mine, and they asked me a very important question. They asked me why I haven’t remarried after my first marriage,” she said.
She explained that being a single mother has shaped how she approaches relationships and decisions about her personal life.
“If you are a single mother or raising a child on your own, your decision-making has to be different. You are not just choosing a partner for yourself anymore, you are choosing a second parent for your child.
“There is a deeper question — do they have the morals, the values, the character that I would like my child to grow up around?
“You have to be sure that the person you are bringing into your life is capable of being a good parent — someone who would treat your child like theirs.
“You are not just building a relationship, you are building a home. Choose wisely, not just for you, but for the life you are creating for your children.”
