“How church pressured me into marrying my best friend” – Stella Damasus reveals her biggest mistake

Stella Damasus, a veteran Nollywood actress, has revealed her “biggest mistake” in life.

According to the actress, a church where she sung in the choir once pushed her to marry her best friend, the choir director.

They were not supposed to be married, according to the thespian, adding that they were great as friends but not as a couple.

This was disclosed in a recent interview with Teju Babyface, a well-known media personality.

In her words, “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?”
