Popular Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has opened up about her relationship with her partner, talent manager Paul Okoye, also known as Paul O, revealing that marriage is not in the cards for them.
In an interview shared via TVC News Nigeria’s official YouTube channel, Iyabo candidly explained that if Paul O were to propose marriage, she would decline—not out of conflict, but because they have both agreed that marriage is not part of their plans.
“I don’t miss marriage, and I’m not thinking about remarrying at this point in my life,” she stated. “I’m very independent, and so is Paul O. That mutual independence works well for us. We understand each other’s space and priorities.”
Iyabo described their relationship as balanced and respectful, noting that they both thrive in their careers and give each other room to recharge. “I’m a workaholic, and so is he. Sometimes I need time alone, and when I tell him, he respects that. There’s no drama. He could be away for work for up to eight months, and if there’s a ticket for me, I’ll travel to meet him wherever he is.”
She concluded, “If Paul O proposes to me, I wouldn’t accept, because we’re on the same page—we’re not looking to get married.”
