“If I see the right person, trust me, I can get married today!”
Nigerian star actress, Chinenye Uyanna, has disclosed why she is yet to tie the nuptial knot despite her massive success in the make-believe industry and having multiple adulating male fans and admirers.
Uyanna, whose career has been on an upward trajectory ever since she hit the industry, disclosed why she is cautious about hurriedly getting married.
In a chat with The SUN newspaper, the popular actress pointed out that Marriage is not a short term contract but rather a lifetime commitment.
“Like I have always said, I don’t have to rush into anything. Marriage is not a journey of one or two days. It is for a lifetime.
“I am not planning to get married and then divorce. I don’t want to make the wrong choices. I want to get married with my head down,” she said.
Uyanna, the star of Sakara Babe, however, disclosed that she can get married immediately she found the right person of her choice
“If I see the right person, trust me, I can get married today!” she said.
Speaking on quitting her acting profession for her future husband, Uyanna said, “I can’t do that for any man,” adding that “the man that brought me into this world is my father, and my whole family including my father supports me.
“Consequently, any man that is coming is an addition to my family so he has to support me. Like I said earlier, I am focusing on my family and if they can support me, any other additional person should support me.”
The Nollywood star actress also gave a peep into what she desires most in a man as she said: “What I desire is a God-fearing man. I am looking for a husband in a decent man. And he should not just be someone decent, but one who respects God. A man that has the fear of God will always respect his wife and so will not be philandering.
“He has to be very truthful no matter how bad the story is, just tell me. Don’t let me find out myself because I am an open book, you can ask all my friends that you know. So, if I am open to you I need you to be open to me.”
She also explained that being a celebrity will not define who she will eventually spend the rest of her life with.
“It cannot define who I settle down with. All I need is true love and happiness; that is all. You know some people out there believe that these people are not getting married because they are looking for a wealthy man. No, that is not true. I just need a God-fearing person that can take care of me; that is all,” she said.
Chinenye Uyanna, a native of Anambra State who came into acting at age 16 has starred in over 50 movies, including Akwa Ndu, Ada, My Neighbour’s Wives, Catherine. Secret Desires, Rachael and Slay Queens, among others.
