How Actress Ini Edo’s Childlessness & Pressure From Husband’s Family Crashed Her Marriage

Several weeks after Nollywood actor Desmond Elliot took to Twitter to call for prayers for Ini Edo to get pregnant, the actress has finally ended her marriage to her Americana-husband Phillip Ehiagwina.
On Thursday, Ini Edo took to Twitter to briefly explain why she filed for divorce.
The Nollywood diva said she never cheated on her husband. Rather she iden­tified “irreconcilable differ­ences” for the break-up, add­ing that there was a conscious effort to tarnish her image.

Though, the Akwa Ibom-born actress has been married for a couple of years, she is yet to have a child for her husband and this has culminated into pressure not just from her hus­band but also his parents and family members.
However, according to in­siders, the reason for the di­vorce suit was that Ini Edo could no longer bear the pres­sure being piled on her to get pregnant by all means. “The problem has been going on for a long while now,” a source close to the actress disclosed, adding: “You know, as Afri­cans, the need for children in a marriage is very important. It is what makes a woman the bona-fide wife to her husband and since Ini just wasn’t get­ting pregnant years after her marriage, her husband’s family lost patience. Maybe, Phillip wouldn’t have minded because of his deep love for Ini, but his family won’t settle for a child­less marriage.”

Reports had earlier stated that the break-up was due to allegations of cheating and distrust between Ini and Phil­lip. The climax was when her family returned the bride price paid for the actress.
As the news of her divorce went viral barely a month be­fore their 6th wedding anniver­sary, Nigerians and most espe­cially movie buffs had received the news with a pinch of salt. But then Ini Edo’s recent twit­ter post confirmed the worst fears of her fans who have been praying fervently for her to get pregnant.
Ini Edo allegedly snatched Phillips from Nollywood actress Ruth Okoro and married him in Texas in November 2008.

As we speak, Ini Edo has reverted her maiden name and has replaced ‘wife’ with ‘actress’ on her social media pages. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
