My biggest life mistake was marrying my best friend, according to Stella Damasus
Veteran Nollywood performer Stella Damasus attributed her “biggest mistake” in life to religion.
She claimed that a church where she had once participated in the choir once put pressure on her to wed her best friend, the choir director.
Thespian emphasized that while as friends they were great, as a couple they didn’t work and that they weren’t supposed to be married.
She revealed this in a recent conversation with well-known media figure Teju Babyface.
Damasus said: “Before him [my ex-husband] there was somebody else that I married. It didn’t work out. Nobody heard my voice. I didn’t talk about it. That passed quietly.
“It lasted eight months. Biggest mistake of my life because the guy was an amazing guy. But he was my friend, my best friend. And religion is what caused that problem that made us marry when we were not supposed to be married. We were supposed to be very good friends because as my friend, he was awesome. But as a married couple, we didn’t work. We just m*ssed it up. And we knew it.
“So when we went our separate ways, we were like out of love and respect for each other, let’s just leave it. We don’t talk about it, we just leave it so that at least we can still say, hello, are you okay? How are you?”
