Despite not being married, actress Iyabo Ojo has stated that she is content in her relationship with Paul Okoye, commonly known as Paulo.
They don’t want to be married to one other since they think marriage is “overrated.”
On the most recent edition of her TV show, Iyabo Ojo TV, the mother of two chatted with legendary musician Charly Boy as a guest.
During the discussions, she said: “I am enjoying my relationship. I am enjoying it. Luckily for me, he [Paulo Okoye] also doesn’t believe in marriage. We feel like it is overrated.”
Charly Boy concurred: “I agree with you that marriage is overrated. My son called me the other day and said, ‘Dad, why can’t people have a contract and say we will just do five years in marriage and if we are lucky and happy, we renew the contract?’
“It sounds funny but you know, there are different coping mechanisms because these days, marriage is not what it used to be when our parents got married. Marriage is a little bit muddled up now. And people are a little bit more individualistic than they used to be before. Nobody wants to serve anybody. Everybody wants to get their own. So, that’s where the problem starts.”
