Why I Am Still Single At 41 – Actress, Ini Edo

Ini Obong Edo, a popular Nollywood actress, has opened up about why she’s still single at age 41.

In a recent podcast interview with Toke Makinwa, Ini Edo revealed that the reason she is still single at 41 is that she has yet to find true love.

She also said that she won’t settle for a toxic relationship and is content being single until she meets the right person.

Edo emphasized that she doesn’t feel pressured to be in a relationship for the sake of it, and is content with her life as it is.

She said, “I am still single because I just want somebody that would really love me. That’s all. I’m not asking for too much.

“Not like I don’t see love. Loving somebody and being loved are two different things. You can love someone but you are not ready to be committed. Maybe this is why I’m still single: I can’t be in a toxic relationship.

“If you cannot give me that protective energy that allows me to respect you… I can not be with a man that I don’t respect.

“If you can not earn my respect, then we cannot be together. Because what’s the point? When it gets to the point when I start to disrespect you, that means you have brought yourself down to a point where I begin to talk back at you. Sometimes, it’s not even about having money. It’s about how you are able to love and manage situations and the people around you. Kindness!”

It is worth noting that Ini Edo was previously married to Philip Ehiagwina, an American businessman, from 2008 to 2013.

After the marriage ended, Edo focused on her career and eventually welcomed a daughter via surrogacy in 2021.
