Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has disclosed that she left her marriage because she was bringing in more income than her husband.

Less than a year after they were married, Yvonne revealed in 2019 that her marriage to fellow actor Olakunle “Abounce” Fawole had broken down.

The actress expressed her remorse at having chosen love over money in a video teaser for the most recent episode of “The Honest Bunch” podcast.

She claimed that because he was older than her, her ex-husband interpreted every joke as a slight, which aided in their divorce.

She said: “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.

“But that wasn’t the main reason I left the marriage. Let me just say the fact, I was bringing more of the money. 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.”

Apart from being an actress, Yvonne Jegede is a Nigerian actress, film producer, model, and television personality notable for producing 3 is Company.

She rose to prominence after she made a cameo appearance in the music video African Queen by 2Face Idibia alongside Annie Macaulay.
