- Ireti Doyle has opened up about her divorce from Patrick Doyle, saying she stayed silent for years because the public does not need an explanation
- In her recent interview with Morayo Brown, Ireti described ending the marriage as painful but explained that she remained silent for personal reasons.
Veteran Nollywood actress, Ireti Doyle, has spoken publicly for the first time about her divorce from her ex-husband, Patrick Doyle, years after the split.
The couple had announced their divorce in January 2023, but few details were shared at the time. Despite the separation, both have continued to maintain a professional working relationship on screen.
In her recent interview with Morayo Brown, Ireti described ending the marriage as painful but explained that she remained silent for personal reasons. She emphasised that the public does not need an explanation, noting that only close family and friends are owed clarity.
“First of all you didn’t hear anything because it is none of your business. Two people come together to get married, there’s a celebration. Sadly, unfortunately something went wrong and you could no longer continue the life journey together,” she said.
She added that she would never allow herself to be used as clickbait in the media: “The only people you owe explanation to at all, are those family and friends that gathered on day one… God forbid because I will never knowingly give myself up as a click bait. The end of any relationship, talks less of long-time marriage, is painful.”
