Actress Damilola Adegbite has explained why she has not remarried since her divorce from Chris Attoh.
In a video shared on social media on Friday, Damilola said the decision goes beyond personal feelings when you are a single parent. She explained that as a mother, choosing a new partner also means choosing a second parent for her child.
She said, “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. And honestly, the answer came to me very easily. It wasn’t even something I had to think of. … You have to be sure that the person you’re bringing into your life and into your child’s life or your children’s life is capable of being a good parent, someone who would treat your child like theirs … At the end of the day, you’re not just building a relationship, you are building a home.”
Damilola and Chris married in February 2015 in Accra, Ghana, after meeting on the set of the television show Tinsel. Their son, Brian, was born in September 2014, and the couple divorced in 2017.
Chris remarried in October 2018, but his marriage ended tragically in 2019 when his wife passed away.
