Actress and comedian Chioma Omeruh, professionally known as Chigul, has disclosed that she got married as virgin at age 33.
The actress made this disclosure when reacting to the post of the ex-wife of Basketmouth, Elsie Okpocha on women, marriage, and children a few days after her husband announced their divorce.
According to Chigul, she was advised to give birth during her marital crisis in order to save her marriage but she felt it wasn’t necessary.
Chigul said:
We were not perfect, there were good days I won’t lie. It just got to a place where we both didn’t care anymore. I have been made to believe that it was my job to keep that afloat and the fact that it sank, I take on my head.
Would I have changed anything about it? No, because it happened for a reason. I’m happy it happened at one year with no children and no attachments. I married at 33, I married a virgin. That was my first ever anything and it was supposed to be special and last.”
In a past interview, Chigul revealed how her marriage ended.
She said: “I felt like I was going through a tough time with my marriage and everyone was saying go back to your husband and no one asked how I was feeling.
“I had nowhere to land, it fell apart and I didn’t want it to. When I needed people to be there for me, no one was there. The worse was when I heard that my husband had a child with someone else, a year into our separation.
“The worse thing for me right now is not being in a relationship but I wanted to give my mother grandchildren. My success with my career is great, it’s wonderful. I thank God for it every day but I want other things.
“I did some things wrong for instance I sold the wedding rings and I told him I did. In my mind, my rings were a symbol of something that didn’t exist. It was a circle I was wearing on my finger while I had an absentee husband.
“It was one of the worst things I ever had to go through but one of the best things because it taught me so much.”
