LAGOS — Popular Nollywood actress, Ruth Kadiri, has finally addressed long-standing rumours about hiding her husband, Mr. Ezerika, from the public, stating that her decision stems from a desire for peace rather than secrecy.
Speaking on the Dear Ife podcast hosted by Diary of a Naija Girl, the actress and producer explained that while she maintains a relatively private family life, her husband is far from being a secret.
“For clarity, my husband is not a secret. People who know me, know him. And for me, that’s enough,” Kadiri said.
The mother of two further noted that her husband is an active part of her life, frequently appearing alongside her at events and family outings, including church services.
“We go to church together, we attend events together, my life is not as private as people think. In the events I organize, my husband is always there,” she added.
Kadiri also pushed back against societal pressure to publicize her marriage on social media, questioning the need to “prove” her relationship to the public.
“I don’t know why I will sit down and be thinking, what am I proving?” she asked.
The actress’s comments come as a response to widespread online speculation and curiosity surrounding her marital life, which she has mostly kept away from the spotlight since tying the knot with Mr. Ezerika in 2019.
