Three years after announcing her divorce, veteran Nollywood actress Ireti Doyle has stated that the end of her marriage was not the public’s business, which is why she chose to keep it private.

Speaking during an interview on “The Morayo Show,” Ireti addressed long-standing curiosity about her divorce and shared lessons she has learned from the experience.

When asked why neither she nor her ex spoke publicly about their separation at the time, Ireti explained that only the handful of family and friends who attended the wedding were entitled to know about both the marriage and its collapse.

“First of all, you didn’t hear anything because it was none of your business. My life is private. Two people come together and decide to get married. There’s a celebration. If you do it right, you have a few friends and family around you, and you carry on with life.

“Sadly, unfortunately, something goes on, you can no longer continue on the life journey together. The only people you owe any explanation to at all are those small family and friends that gathered on day one,” she stated.

The Nollywood actress added that the public has no role in the personal matters of a failed marriage, stating that she would never allow her life to become a public spectacle.

“You see this larger audience that you’re performing for? They do not care. And God forbid, I don’t know about you and you people watching, but I personally will never knowingly give myself up as clickbait,” she said.

Ireti also offered advice to women navigating divorce, warning against airing private pain online.

“Why are you bleeding all over the internet, madam? And I’m talking to my sisters. You’re not going to win. So, who are you explaining your matter to? You spend, you know, the end of a relationship, any relationship, talk less of a long-term marriage, is painful,” the actress stated.
