Why Shaffy Bello Dissolved Her 25-Year-Old Marriage With Husband

Shaffy Bello, a renowned Nigerian actress and singer has finally disclosed why she separated from her husband, Mr. Akinrimisi. Her rationale behind the dissolution has stirred controversies.

In an interview with a media personality, Chude Jideonwo, the Nigerian celebrity, Shaffy Bello disclosed that her basic reason for ending her marriage was the problem of a distant relationship.

According to the actress, her husband resided in the United States of America while she lived with the children in Nigeria. So, the distance between them posed a huge barrier and eventually wrecked her marriage.

According to Shaffy, her husband was a responsible husband to their children; but there were times she need him by her side. According to Shaffy, it was a sacrifice to travel to the USA to see her husband.

“He [my ex-husband] was a good father to his children. But I reached a point where I wanted more. I would always travel back and forth, but I realized that if I wanted this, it came with sacrifices. It wasn’t sacrificing the marriage itself, but rather, him being there [in the USA] and the distance didn’t help.” She said.

She stated that coping with the situation became difficult for her, which ultimately led to her decision to get a divorce.

A while ago, Shaffy Bello revealed that she does not wish to marry since she feels there are enough women in the world.

Sharing her thoughts with fellow actress, Mercy Johnson on an episode of ‘Mercy’s Menu,’ Shaffy indicated that she prefers companionship and would like to settle down with a partner but not in the traditional marriage setting.

She said;
“I am a one-man kind of woman and I believe there are a lot of women here to fill a home.

That is why when I meet people or go on a date, they are women. I want to settle with someone at the end of the day, I don’t want to be 55 and then go out or have a birthday party and then come home and be all alone, I don’t want that. I want to be with someone, maybe not marriage, but a companion.”
