Yeah, handsome actor/presenter, Joseph Benjamin has two kids – a 10 year old daughter and a 7 year old son.
Despite being separated from their mum, he still has time to play his daddy duties.
Joseph says “They are an
integral part of my life; their mum and I have a very good arrangement
on how to balance their lives and make sure that psychologically they
are stable and unaffected by our separation. ”
Joseph Benjamin explains why he separated from their mum below:
“I’ve been separated for a year now but we still keep
a good relationship, and our separation was a mutual agreement. She is a
good woman but I could not go on with the union anymore seeing the
foundation it was built on was untrue.
I was married for 8 years. It was a rather odd
situation at that time. She got pregnant and I didn’t want to have a
child out of wedlock and so I married her so we could build a home
together for the unborn child. Things weren’t rosy then, but I believed
it was the right thing to do for the sake of the child. I
overlooked my own personal desires, I just wanted to do right.
Our
second child came and I stood by my family like I always have; but no
one is perfect, we had our issues – the crisis persisted but we stayed
because of the kids. But you never make that kind of decision because if
the parents are not happy together then the children suffer.”
