She shared, \u201cHe died. I don\u2019t talk about it, but he\u2019s gone. It took me a very long time to find him, and now he\u2019s no longer here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The actress made it clear that she doesn\u2019t believe in getting married simply for appearances. \u201cMarriage shouldn\u2019t be done just for the sake of it. If you can\u2019t stay true to your vows, why bother? The person I could have done forever with is gone. I\u2019m not saying you can\u2019t love more than once, but finding that one person took me so long.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Akintola, reflecting on her age and life experiences, added that she\u2019s too old to ignore red flags or to go through the motions for the sake of societal expectations. \u201cWhy should I get married just to make the world happy? It makes no sense to me. I won\u2019t do that for anyone. I live my life truthfully because at the end of the day, it\u2019s just me and God when I leave this world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While she still believes in the institution of marriage, Akintola admitted that the person she felt she could truly commit to is gone. \u201cI\u2019ve dated, but I never saw forever with those people. Before I found him, I thought it might never happen. If I ever find someone else I see forever with, I\u2019ll marry\u2014even if I\u2019m 82.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The actress concluded by emphasizing the challenges of marriage and her unwillingness to enter into one unless she is certain. \u201cMarriage is hard, very hard. Why would I go into it with someone I know I can\u2019t do forever with?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola, 54, has opened up about why she has chosen to remain unmarried.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20059,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[9130,9132,927,9131],"class_list":["post-20058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-bimbo-akintola","tag-forever","tag-love","tag-unmarried"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20058"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20058"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20058\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20060,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20058\/revisions\/20060"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/20059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
