Veteran Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has given fans a rare glimpse into the inner workings of her nearly three-decade-long marriage to her husband, Captain Matthew Ekeinde.

Naijaonpoint reports that the film star, during a live podcast with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, spoke about the highs, lows, and faith-driven principles that have helped her sustain a healthy marriage since 1996.

Speaking about her experiences, Omotola admitted that even in a loving marriage, there are tough days when she struggles to understand why she is in love with her husband.

She said, “There are times when I look at him and I’m not in love. I go to God and report him. I honour him not because I’m head over heels in love at that moment, but because I honour the One who gave me the mandate to be with him.

“There are times I look at him and think, ‘Somebody please remind me why I married this man.’ And he probably feels the same way about me. Those days come.”

In a world obsessed with perfect images of love and success, Omotola urges couples to embrace their humanity, saying, “I think the problem is people trying to be fake. Relax it’s not that serious. Remember you’re a human being.”

Omotola also admitted that there are times when she is attracted to other men, adding that it is a dose of realism that few public figures dare to share.

She said, “There are times I see guys who look ‘fantabulous’ and I say, ‘Oh child!’ But you check yourself.”
