Popular Nollywood actress, Iniobong Edo Ekim, better known as Ini Edo, has opened up about her regrets about her marriage.

In a recent interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, the award-winning thespian and movie producer stated that she regrets walking down the aisle.

Ini Edo got married to American-based businessman, Philip Ehiagwina, on November 29, 2008, but the marriage only lasted for five years, and they finally divorced in 2013.

When asked why she regrets settling down, Ini Edo admitted that it wasn’t the right decision to make at the time.

“I regretted my decision to get married because it wasn’t the right move to make,” she said.

She, however, noted that she would give marriage another shot “if the right person comes along.”

Regarding her choice to welcome her baby via surrogacy, Ini Edo explained, “I chose surrogacy because I had experienced several miscarriages, and I simply got tired of trying.

“I don’t have a husband, so I thought, why not have a child for myself, whether I have a husband or not? What other options do I have? And I wanted the child to be biologically mine. Thankfully, my eggs are viable, so I went ahead with it.”
