Nollywood actor, IK Ogbonna has finally addressed rumours
that his wife Sonia has walked away from their marriage.
Recall that in September, the Colombian beauty sparked
rumours after she dropped his last name from all her social media accounts. The
mother of one who is a life coach, a blogger, and a relationship expert edited
her name from Sonia Ogbonna Morales to Sonia LaReina.
At one point, she took to her Snapchat account to flash her
ringless finger, but in a recent chat with Saturday Beats, IK Ogbonna dismissed
the marriage breakup rumours.
The actor noted that his wife is an intelligent woman and
gave her credit for their successful marriage because it was difficult being
married to someone like him due to the nature of his job.
“My wife is gifted; she is a very intelligent woman. You
cannot sit down with her and not learn something; she is very expressive, she
expresses herself regardless of what people think or say. It takes two people
to make things work; on her own part, she does her best and she will keep doing
her best. Being married to someone like me is very difficult because my career
takes a toll on me. I am hardly around and available to give her enough
attention as a woman, but I will keep trying.
“Most of the time, for a marriage to really work, it takes
two people, but the woman has to be patient. So far so good, she has been doing
a great job and I will give her all the credit.
“Any celebrity out there hardly has time because we work
round the clock but whatever time I have no matter how little it feels, I spend
it with my family. It is within that little time I go out with them and take
pictures with them; that is when I go for events with them. I go to events with
my wife, not to flaunt her but because in the little time I have to be in that
event, I’ll rather be with her than go alone. It is never enough but I will
always like to give it as much as I can,” he said.
He also accused some of his followers on social media platforms
of spreading hate comments.
“Some followers are
there to hate, some get inspired, some are even there to do ‘eye-service’, and
some of them are there as the press, just to pick things to gossip about. I
have had a lot of people that come to me and tell me that following me has
inspired them greatly; these types of feedbacks give me joy.”
“In my little way, I try to show people how to love and
treat their family and be better people. I might not be right all the time with
the things I express, but people can still learn from them,” he added.
