Ini Edo Finally Reveals Why She Is Still Singe At 41

Nollywood actress Ini Obong Edo has opened up about the reason behind her single status at the age of 41.

Opening up on the issue, she attributed it to her pursuit of true love. During a recent episode of Toke Makinwa’s podcast, the actress emphasized her preference for a loving and respectful relationship over settling for toxicity.

She expressed, “I am still single because I just want somebody that would really love me. That’s all. I’m not asking for too much. Not like I don’t see love. Loving somebody and being loved are two different things. You can love someone but you are not ready to be committed. Maybe this is why I’m still single: I can’t be in a toxic relationship.”

Ini Edo stressed the importance of mutual respect in a relationship, stating, “If you cannot give me that protective energy that allows me to respect you… I cannot be with a man that I don’t respect. If you cannot earn my respect, then we cannot be together. Because what’s the point? When it gets to the point when I start to disrespect you, that means you have brought yourself down to a point where I begin to talk back at you. Sometimes, it’s not even about having money. It’s about how you are able to love and manage situations and the people around you. Kindness!”

The actress, who was previously married to Philip Ehiagwina, an American-based businessman, for five years until 2013, announced in 2021 the arrival of her first child, a girl, through surrogacy.
