Popular Nollywood actress Lizzy Gold has spoken candidly about her relationship status, urging fans and well-wishers to stop pressuring her into marriage simply because she is a mother of two.
Known for her striking screen presence and outspoken nature, the Asaba-based star made it clear that marriage is not on her agenda anytime soon, despite having two children.
Lizzy Gold revealed that whenever she attends wedding ceremonies, particularly those of her colleagues in the entertainment industry, she is often confronted with intrusive questions about when it will be her “turn.” She described such comments as unnecessary and insensitive.
“It’s not going to be my turn anytime soon. I’m not getting married anytime soon; I’m not even thinking about it. It’s not in my thoughts, do you understand? I have two kids. In fact, I’m married to my kids. Nobody should pressure me. You all want me to marry someone unsuitable; all these men who don’t have their lives together. I will take my time and marry the right man. God said that in His own time, He will give me my own man. So, nobody should pressure me; I’m waiting on God,” she stated.
Addressing the possibility of remaining unmarried, the actress dismissed the notion that singlehood is a failure or a sin. She maintained that a woman can live a fulfilled, morally upright life without being married.
“If no man comes, it’s not a sin to remain single. You can be single and still make it to heaven, as long as you live right. Heaven is the goal,” she said.
Responding to questions about family pressure, Lizzy Gold disclosed that she has never been coerced by her relatives into getting married, despite her younger sister having been married for over a decade.
According to her, marriage is a personal decision that should not be influenced by comparisons or external expectations.
“I have never been pressured at home. Whether I marry or not is nobody’s business,” she said firmly, adding that she is currently single, unbothered, and at peace with her choices.
