“There Are Days I Don’t Love Him” – Omotola Jalade Sparks Reactions After Revealing She Notices Other Men While Married

Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has sparked reactions online after her candid comments about the realities of marriage resurfaced on social media.

In a conversation with media personality Chude Jideonwo, the actress spoke about the highs and lows of her marriage to Captain Matthew Ekeinde, whom she has been  married to since 1996.

Omotola explained that there are moments when she does not feel in love with her husband, but said she continues to honour her commitment to him.

She said: “There are times when I look at him and I’m not in love. I go to God and report him. I honour him not because I’m head over heels in love at that moment, but because I honour the One who gave me the mandate to be with him.”

She also acknowledged that she sometimes notices other attractive men.

“There are times I see guys who look ‘fantabulous’ and I say, ‘Oh child!’ But you check yourself,” she said.

The actress further advised couples not to pretend that their marriages are perfect, saying: “I think the problem is people trying to be fake. Relax, it’s not that serious. Remember you’re a human being.”

Her comments have now triggered mixed reactions on X, with some users defending her honesty while others criticised her views on marriage.
