She candidly admitted that she regretted prioritizing love over financial stability in her marital decision.<\/p>\n<p>In the podcast, Jegede explained that one of the primary issues in her marriage was her ex-husband\u2019s sensitivity to jokes, which he perceived as disrespectful due to their age difference. \u201cHe [my ex-husband] is eight years older than me. But the moment we got married, if I tell am say, \u2018You dey crease,\u2019 he would say I\u2019m disrespecting him,\u201d she recounted, questioning if he was the same person she had initially fallen in love with.<\/p>\n<p>However, the significant reason for their separation, according to Jegede, was the financial strain she felt. She revealed that she was the primary financial provider, which created a burden she could no longer bear. \u201cBut that wasn\u2019t the main reason I left the marriage. Let me just say the fact, I was bringing more of the money. I\u2019m taking care of my son like nobody exist around me. It\u2019s not easy. I would have gone for money instead of love,\u201d she admitted.<\/p>\n<p>Jegede\u2019s revelations shed light on the complexities that can arise in a marriage where financial contributions are imbalanced. Her experience highlights the importance of financial compatibility and mutual respect in maintaining a healthy relationship. As she continues to navigate her life post-divorce, Jegede\u2019s story serves as a candid reflection on the lessons learned from her past decisions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Cynthia Abah Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has opened up about the reasons behind her decision to end her marriage to actor Olakunle \u2018Abounce\u2019 Fawole.
