Phyna explain why celebrity marriages don’t last

Reality TV star, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has shared her thoughts on the reasons marriages crash in Nigeria entertainment industry.

Speaking in an interview with TVC, where she talked about the challenges she faced on her journey to fame.

Responding to a question on why entertainers experience failed marriages, Phyna said that the reason is because they take their fame too seriously.

She said, “An entertainer marrying another entertainer is nice because they both understand what they’re doing. They both understand the business, so when I tell you I’m busy, you’d understand. But a non-entertainer don’t.

“You just need to be at the table with someone that understands. Many celebrity marriages fail because most of them front the celebrity life. When I’m with my boyfriend, I don’t even look like celebrity or talk celebrity.

“I’m like any normal girl. It’s when you start bringing in talks about you being this and that in a marriage that you start having problems. Make your relationship like that of normal people with normal lives.

“That way, it’s going to be successful. We have celebrities that have a successful marriage now.”

The Big Brother Naija winner, stated that on if she was to change anything in the industry, she would creat a platform for upcoming entertainers.

She said, “I would start giving opportunities to upcoming entertainers, especially the females. We face lots of hardship in the industry. I think I would change that and give all female entertainers that platform.

“Only they know what’s there to fake. Even fake life is now more expensive. The money you would spend on living the fake life, you can live a decent and real life from it. So faking it till you make it is really nonsense,” she added.
