‘I left my marriage because I was providing more than my ex-husband’ – Yvonne Jegede

Notably, just a year after they were married, Jegede announced in 2019 that her marriage to actor Olakunle "Abounce" Fawole had ended.

The actress expressed her regret for picking love over money in a teaser for the next episode of the podcast "The Honest Bunch."

She added that part of the reason they divorced was because her ex-husband took offense at every joke because he was older than her.

She said:

“He [my ex-husband] is eight years older than me. But the moment we got married, if I tell am say, ‘You dey crease, ‘ he would say I’m disrespecting him. I would if it was the same person I got married to.

“But that wasn’t the main reason I left the marriage. Let me just say the fact, I was bringing more of the money. I’m taking care of my son like nobody exist around me. It’s not easy. I would have gone for money instead of love.”
