Beautiful Nollywood actress Stella Damasus made a revelation about one of her marriages, which lasted only eight months. She disclosed this during a recent chat with popular media personality, Teju Babyface.
The actress revealed that she was a choir member back then and she and her friend were not compatible. Describing their friendship as fantastic, she said it “didn’t work” as a couple.
According to Damasus, she and her best friend were pressured into getting married by their church, even though they were not meant to be together. She also stated that their marriage was a “mistake”.
“It lasted eight months. Biggest mistake of my life because the guy was an amazing guy. But he was my friend, my best friend. And religion is what caused that problem that made us marry when we were not supposed to be married. We were supposed to be very good friends because as my friend, he was awesome. But as a married couple, we didn’t work. We just m*ssed it up. And we knew it.
Damasus also said that she was pressured into marriage by her church, which told her that it was “God’s will” for them to be together. She said that she now believes that she was “wrong” to succumb to the pressure.
However, Damasus said that though the marriage to her ex-husband has gone south, they still have a good relationship. She said “So when we went our separate ways, we were like out of love and respect for each other, let’s just leave it. We don’t talk about it, we just leave it so that at least we can still say, hello, are you okay? How are you?”
