The 42-year-old actress explained that while she has not ruled out remarriage, she has learned to avoid absolute decisions about life.
Jegede argued that many long-term relationships collapse shortly after marriage, suggesting that the legal label often introduces pressure and intolerance that were previously absent.
According to her, genuine love and understanding matter more than marital status, adding that cohabitation can sometimes work better for certain couples.
The actress’s comments come years after her marriage to fellow actor Olakunle “Abounce” Fawole ended in 2019, less than a year after it began.
She had previously cited financial imbalance and lack of mutual respect as major factors behind the separation, noting that she was the primary provider and later regretted prioritising love over financial stability.
