Nollywood actress and producer Ruth Kadiri has explained why she chose to keep her marriage and personal life away from the public.
Kadiri spoke about her decision during a recent episode of the Dear Ife podcast, where she revealed that she was afraid of marriage and was unsure how her decision to get married would turn out.
According to the actress, her concerns about the future of her marriage made her decide not to have a public relationship. She added that her husband supported her choice and agreed with her to keep the wedding small.

“I had a marriage phobia. I was fighting the fear of the unknown and wondering, ‘I’m going to make this decision and now everything will fall apart?’ So, I wasn’t really ready to have a public marriage and my husband was okay with that.
“Also, I didn’t want a lot of drama regarding my relationship. That’s why my husband and I invited only 50 people to our wedding. He invited twenty-five people, while I invited another 25. If I was abroad, I guess we probably would have gone to the registry and gotten married,” she said.
Ruth Kadiri and her husband married in a private ceremony in 2018, with only 50 guests.
The couple welcomed their first daughter in August 2019 and their second daughter in July 2022.
