Ireti Doyle, a Nollywood actress, has officially announced her divorce from Patrick Doyle, a veteran broadcaster and actor.
After being married for nearly 19 years, Ireti and Patrick parted ways. In a recent interview with media figure Chude Jideonwo, the actress said that she and Mr. Doyle are no longer married.
“We are officially divorced” she confirmed
The 55-year-old went on to say that she had no business being married at that time.
“When you’re an adult, it’s not a life and death situation…there are some situations that are way beyond your control. The truth of the matter is that I had no business being married at that time, period! let’s not even go to the choice of who I married. I can’t sacrifice my life in the alter of your imagination or your fantasy.” she said
Ireti shared a clip of the interview on her Instagram page with the caption;
“There is a time to be silent and a time to speak. In this age where everything one says is scrutinised and quartered; it takes a certain level of trust to bare intimate details .. we are here now.”
Furthermore, in a Twitter exchange with some of her followers this morning, Ireti explained why she still bears Doyle despite the divorce.
