Veteran Nollywood actress Bukky Wright has opened up about a deeply personal topic—her desire to remarry. In a heartfelt interview with BBC Yoruba, the 58-year-old screen icon shared that while she still hopes to find love again, she is also at peace if it doesn’t happen.
The actress, known for her elegance and calm demeanor, stated clearly that her interest in remarrying is not driven by societal pressure but by a simple, heartfelt desire. Bukky Wright also disclosed that she has even prayed about during a spiritual pilgrimage. In her words:
“On the issue of marriage. I wish to be married again if God destined it, but it’s not a must. In fact, when I went to Al Kaaba I prayed to God about it, and I know He is a God that answers prayers.”
The single mother of two has always kept her private life lowkey despite decades in the public eye. While she has experienced relationships and motherhood, she made it clear that finding companionship again would be a blessing, not a necessity.
Bukky Wright first shot into the limelight in 1999 with her stellar role in the politically charged Yoruba film Saworoide by Tunde Kelani. Over the years, she has become a household name in both Yoruba and English-speaking Nollywood, starring in countless movies and TV shows, and winning over fans with her poise, talent, and ageless beauty.
Her fans have applauded her honesty and spiritual approach to the idea of love and companionship later in life. Many flooded social media with comments expressing admiration for her vulnerability and strength.
In other news, in a shocking turn of events on Tuesday night, July 8, 2025, Nollywood actress and entrepreneur Iyabo Ojo revealed that her office building was engulfed by flames. The incident reportedly occurred around 7 p.m., sending waves of concern through fans and colleagues alike.
