Social media users are reacting to Nollywood actress, Yvonne Jegede’s revelation on why her marriage to Abounce Fawole crashed.

“He [my ex-husband] is eight years older than me. But the moment we got married, if I tell am say, ‘You dey crease, ‘ he would say I’m disrespecting him. I would if it was the same person I got married to.
“But that wasn’t the main reason I left the marriage. Let me just say the fact, I was bringing more of the money. Today, I’m taking care of my son like nobody exist around me. It’s not easy. I would have gone for money instead of love”.

Recall that Yvonne Jegede met the son of late actress, Bukky Ajayi, on the set of Tade Ogidan’s popular drama series, ‘Behind the Siege”. After years of being together, the lovebirds tied the knot in a classy wedding ceremony in Lagos in February, 2018. Unfortunately the marriage didn’t last long as a year later, the couple split when Yvonne was still pregnant.
In an interview, Yvonne disclosed that her ex-husband is a deadbeat father who hasn’t shown any form of support or interest in the life of their son, Xavier. She recounted how Olakunle Fawole only showed up once to see the child after she gave him an ultimatum and how he doesn’t celebrate their son on his birthdays.
However, the mother of one is grateful for her son as she pondered on how her life would have become if she hadn’t given birth before the marriage hit the rock. She disclosed that she would have killed herself as she sent a message to her mini-me for making her life complete.
Speaking on heartbreak, she revealed she was in love with someone who didn’t love her back, as she questioned her fans on which heartbreak was worse – to love someone and not get loved back or to not be in love with someone who loves you, as she has experienced both and didn’t know which is worse.
