Chris Attoh & Damilola Adegbite
Actor Chris Attoh has disclosed that he never cheated on his ex-wife, Damilola Adegbite, during their two-year marriage.
This has laid to rest speculations that cheating may have played a role in their recent divorce.
According to the screen ‘bad boy’ who was speaking in an interview with Bola Ray on Starr FM on Wednesday, he found no reason to cheat on the Nigerian screen goddess who he was featured with in movies such as ‘6 hours To Christmas’, ‘Flower Girl’ and ‘Tinsel’.
“I can gladly say that I never cheated because I didn’t find a reason to. When you find yourself busy it helps,” he said.
Chris won’t open up on the full details of the divorce. However, he had to quickly defend himself after a message sent into the interview by a lady who gave her name as Sandra from London accused him of infidelity.
“But Sandra I also want to say thank you for your opinion. If I speak deeper then I will be getting into my marriage. Like I said, I am here to respect my family,” he added.
Chris and Damilola got married in 2015 after months of courtship. Prior to their encounter, Chris reportedly dated Andrea Manuela Giaccaglia, while Damilola also dated Banky W.
Interestingly within the same time Chris and Damilola started hanging out, there were reports of Banky W and Andrea also seeing each other.
However, Chris and Damilola went ahead to seal their relationship with a wedding. Two years after, they could not sustain it and have gone their separate ways.
It is readily not known what caused the divorce or when it happened. Chris won’t talk about that or further details of the divorce though he was the one who started talking. He first confirmed the divorce in an interview with Bellanaija.com and now Starr FM.
On different occasions in the interview on Starr FM, he ignored questions to why the divorce. He insisted he wanted to respect his family.
However, he was ready to share with listeners some solutions to a long lasting marriage. He stated that the reason most marriages don’t work is that “we have forgotten what the fundamentals of marriage are.”
“When you love someone, it is important to be able to forgive, to be able to respect, to be able to submit. As a woman, you need to trust the captain of the ship. It’s really important if you want peace in your home,” he said but won’t indicate if whether he or Damilola over looked that in their marriage.
Chris added that it is amazing the number of lessons married people can draw from the Bible. However, he does not regret ever getting married to Nigerian actress Damilola.
“I believe that life is too short for regrets and everything happens for a reason. I have a beautiful baby boy. I have a wealth of experience and I have a lot of work to do,” he added.
Meanwhile, Chris also denied allegations of being bi-sexual, which some have also speculated could be the reason for the divorce.
