“I Have Been Tempted Many Times To Cheat On My Husband” Actress Omotola Jalaide- Ekeide

With four beautiful children and a rock-solid marriage, sexy actress, Omotola Jalaide- Ekeide, is a success story, married to her pilot husband – Mr. Ekeide-for over a decade.

In this Interview, the Nollywood goddess speaks Exclusively to VANGUARD’S Ekerete Udoh about her career, managing her home and staying faithful.

We culled excerpts of the conversation and what she said…..

Asked if she had ever met men that she genuinely took a liking to, and was tempted to sacrifice her marital vows, she answered: “Absolutely. I have been tempted many times to cheat on my husband by men I really liked. But when you think of what you stand to lose, the destruction of all you have labored to build, when you weigh all the options, you are left to conclude that it is not worth the trouble. I know some women will find this somewhat objectionable, but if they want to be truthful to themselves, they will agree with me that, as married women, we have all faced moments that I have just described.”

As one of the most desirable and sexy actresses in Nollywood and knowing how persistent men of power and influence can get in wanting to have celebrities as trophy lovers, I asked Omotola if she had received material things from men who ran after her. “Sure, I have received lots of goodies from my male admirers,”she deadpanned. So what gives – what is the qui pro-quo? “Nothing”, she replied. “I do not give anything in return. I always tell them that I am married and would not compromise my martial vows. If after making that point clear, they still continue to shower me with gifts, maybe believing that something will break in the future, then I cannot help them.”
