Nollywood star, Ini Edo, has recently addressed the speculation surrounding her potential marriage following an engagement post she shared in September that sparked considerable excitement among her fans and followers.
The actress had posted a captivating photo of herself in a traditional Efik bridal gown, which led many to believe that she was engaged and gearing up for a wedding. Her caption, which alluded to themes of love and encouraged her fans to keep believing in happiness, further fueled the gossip and anticipation regarding her relationship status.
However, in a recent interview with Premium Times, Ini Edo took the opportunity to clarify the situation. She explained that the post was not intended as an engagement announcement; instead, it was a promotional effort for her upcoming four-part series, My Fairytale Wedding, which focuses on wedding themes and festivities. Ini emphasized that her intent was to highlight the series and not to imply any personal engagements.
When the interviewer probed whether she envisioned having a real-life fairytale wedding someday, Ini candidly revealed that marriage is no longer a priority in her life. She stated, “I’m not crazy about marriage; I’m crazy about having a solid relationship. I’m not hoping, and it’s not any of my prayer points.” Her remarks indicate a shift in her perspective on love and commitment, as she appears to prioritize meaningful relationships over traditional marriage.
It is noteworthy that Iniobong Edo was previously married to Nigerian-American businessman Philip Ehiagwina in 2008, but the marriage ended in divorce in 2014. Since then, she has focused on building meaningful connections rather than chasing the idea of marriage, a sentiment that has resonated with many of her followers. Ini's recent comments have effectively put the marriage rumors to rest while also shedding light on her personal views regarding love, relationships, and commitment.
