Ireti Doyle Explains Reason Behind Not Sharing Information About Her Divorce To The Public 

By Oluwarantimi Oludase 

Nollywood actress Ireti Doyle, has opened up on her crashed marriage to veteran actor Patrick Doyle, and the reason behind not divulging any information to the public.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Morayo Afolabi-Brown show, the host questioned the actress about her divorce, and the reason she didn't share the reason behind it to the public.

"Let’s talk about your marriage, the divorce, when the divorce happened with your ex, you were both quiet, we didn’t hear from both of you, you didn’t tell us anything, what would you say that experience has taught you or formed who you become today?."

Responding to her question, Ireti Doyle explained that her failed marriage was not intended for the public, since their marriage only involved her and her ex-husband.

She also stated that even if she were to disclose any information, only her family and friends that were present during her wedding are worthy of such news.

“First of all, you didn’t hear anything because it wasn’t your business. Two people come together to get married, and there’s a celebration. Sadly, something goes wrong, and you can no longer continue your journey together. The only people you owe an explanation to, if at all, are those small family and friends who gathered on day one.

You see, the larger audience you’re performing for does not care.

I personally would never knowingly give myself up as clickbait. You’re never going to win, so who are you explaining your matter to?

The end of a long-term relationship, let alone marriage, is painful. Whatever the circumstances, not apportioning blame is painful. You need to spend the energy you’re using to perform for an audience who doesn’t care to sit down, go deep within, understand what went wrong for the sole purpose of not making the same mistake again."
