I Can Still Remarry at 51- Ayo Adesanya

Actress , Ayo Adesanya, has said there is no age limit when it comes to finding a life partner .

In an interview with Saturday Beats , she said , “ Yes , I will give marriage a try if I see a good man . If I find what I like, why wouldn ’ t . Nothing can stop me from getting married again if the opportunity comes. I don’ t think it ’ s too late for marriage at 51 . Haven ’ t you seen people who gave birth to babies even at 60 ? Nothing is impossible for God . I know a very beautiful lady that got married at the age of 50 and had her baby at 55 . Things like that made me include that it is never too late to do anything. With the way life is structured, nothing is impossible .

“ I was once in an entanglement and I’ ve tried to be careful over the years . I have seen quite a lot of interested men but it ’ s very difficult to know who is true and who is not . However , one cannot be too careful because love is supposed to be unconditional . One can be very careful and still make mistakes . I’ m not giving myself a time frame ( to get married ) because I’ m having the best time of my life. I am at peace with myself and I know that the peace can continue only if I see the right person. ”

Adesanya maintained that though she was still open to marriage, she didn ’ t consider it a do - or - die affair .

She said , “ If marriage doesn ’ t come , one would still live one ’ s life. It is not a do - or -die affair , and not everybody would get married . When people get married and stay in it , I consider them lucky. These days , marriages don’ t last . When one hears the things happening everywhere , getting ‘ entangled ’ would be scary . People that are not married still live happily.

‘’ On the other hand , some people are friends and lovers, and it works out well for them . Marriage only makes it official and strengthens the commitment . ’’

The actress , who started her career in 1996 , also noted that there had been an astonishing change in the movie industry. She added , “ A lot of things are different now . For example , there was no social media when I started acting . But now , everything one does is out in the open even before one lets the cat out of the bag . Social media has given acting and the entertainment industry another definition . It ( social media ) has its positive and negative sides , especially since people lead their lives according to what they see and read . Everything has been glamourised; hence, people erroneously think that ’ s how real life is .

“ Life is not how people see it in movies or on social media . When one ’ s life is centred around social media , one may start to think that one has a problem. However , it shouldn ’ t be a do - or - die affair . One can aspire to be more than what one sees . Some people ’ s lives have been messed up because of social media . They have no understanding of reality again. They believe that living a fake life is the real thing. They just follow people blindly , not knowing that nobody ’ s life is perfect. ’’
