Marriage they say, is a beautiful thing. In Africa, marriage is an important part of a person’s life. Breaking it down to Nollywood, there are a lot of beautiful women in the make-believe industry, light, brown or dark skinned; some tall, short, plus sized or slim, all beautiful in their own special ways. Many of these women are either single, married, or divorced. A good number of these married actresses that have been able to hold on to a marriage have come to accept their lots of being the second wife. Some of these marriage fortunately withstand the test of time while in some cases after rushing into the arms of the other woman’s man, end up rushing out. Here are a few these Nollywood actresses who allegedly settled as second wives at some point, in no particular order.

Topping the list is the most recent addition to the list of actresses who are second wives.

1. Mercy Aigbe

Mercy Aigbe and Adekaz

Popular Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe seems not to care about her reputation when it comes to marriage as the movie star is not new to playing second fiddle and not just with her recent union. Mercy was formerly married to Lanre Gentry, but what you didn’t know is that Gentry was married to another Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akinsanya before Mercy Aigbe got pregnant for him. Mercy was then nick-named a ‘husband snatcher’ by a fellow actress after she got married to Lanre Gentry in 2013. The union came to an end in 2019 amidst claims of infidelity and domestic violence. Lanre Gentry was also previously married to Temitayo Lewis-Gentry who is said to live in the US with their 3 kids.

Mercy Aigbe & Adekaz

Fast forward to January 23, 2022 the actress once again sparked reactions on social media after introducing Kazim Adeoti aka Adekaz, as her man. Kazim is married with kids. Although, fans of the actress berated her for snatching another woman’s husband, the actress seems unruffled. She says her husband is entitled to more than one wife because he’s religious allows it.

In 2011, the issue became pubic, when Lovely took to social media with claims that she is the legally married wife of Prince Odianose, who Mercy was planning to get married to and that she can’t get abandoned like that because she was still legally married to her husband, Prince Okojie.

4. Mosun Filani

Mosun Filani

Popular Yoruba Actress cum business woman, Mosunmola Filani secretly got married to Kayode Emmanuel Oduoye in 2012.

6. Liz Da-Silva

There hasn’t been any concrete evidence that this Togolese-Nigerian actress, Liz Dasilva has married her baby’s father who she bore a son for, but the fact that the actress went ahead to convert from Christianity to Islam in 2013, changing her name from Elizabeth to Aishat, in a bid to please her supposed husband, Alhaji Olaoye, is a sign that there’s a story there.

Liz Da-Silva

Alhaji Olaoye who was married to Zainab with a daughter, took Liz as his wife. The relationship between the actress and Alhaja Olaoye soon hit the rocks and in December 2020, via a video, Liz Da-Silva revealed she got married in October of the same year.

7. Stella Damasus

In 2007, Damasus gave love a chance and got remarried, this time to Emeka Nzeribe. The marriage lasted for seven months before a mutual agreement to divorce.

Stella Damasus & Daniel Ademinokan

Then in 2011, the news had it that she was involved with Nollywood producer and director Daniel Ademinokan; a relationship that sparked a lot of controversies all over Nigeria because both parties never publicly admitted to be dating, engaged or even married until 2014 due to the fact that Daniel Ademinokan was married to another actor, Doris Simeon at the time. Stella relocated abroad with Daniel and her two daughters and in 2020, the union came to an end!
