Why I’m still unmarried, childless at 52 – Bimbo Akintola

Veteran Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola has opened up about her personal life, explaining why she remains unmarried and without children at the age of 52.

In an interview with PulseNG, Akintola revealed that her single status is not entirely by choice but shaped by life circumstances and her deep respect for the institution of marriage. She disclosed that she once met a man she believed was her life partner, but he sadly passed away. Since then, she has not found another person who fits her ideal.

“I don’t have children, unfortunately. Marriage is important. It’s something you do in the house of God. You go to church, call everyone who loves you, and say those vows to the person you’ll spend the rest of your life with. I haven’t found that person. I did once, but he died,” she said.

The actress stressed that honesty is a core value in her relationships, adding that she would never marry someone she is not certain she could spend forever with.

“I can’t lie; I don’t know how to live a lie. I want everything to be truthful — to myself and to God. If I meet the right person, even if I’m 78, I’ll marry. Why not?” she said.

While Akintola believes marriage is not the ultimate measure of a woman’s worth, she acknowledged its importance as one grows older, noting that companionship becomes essential when children leave home and loneliness sets in.
