Reality TV star and brand influencer, Josephine Ijeoma Otabor better known as Phyna has shared her opinion on why many Nigerian celebrity marriages crash.
The winner of the recently concluded Big brother Naija show made this known in the latest interview with TVC and she also discussed the difficulties her fellow celebrities face for fame.
According to Phyna, it’s those who take celebrity life so seriously that have marriage woe.
She said; “An entertainer marrying another entertainer is nice because they both understand what they’re doing. They both understand the business, so when I tell you I’m busy, you’d understand. But a non-entertainer don’t,” she said.
She added, “You just need to be at the table with someone that understands. Many celebrity marriages fail because most of them front the celebrity life. When I’m with my boyfriend, I don’t even look like celebrity or talk celebrity. I’m like any normal girl. It’s when you start bringing in talks about you being this and that in a marriage that you start having problems. Make your relationship like that of normal people with normal lives. That way, it’s going to be successful. We have celebrities that have a successful marriage now.”
Phyna also mentioned the “fake it until you make it” mantra that many people hold as they advance in the industry.
She said, “Only they know what’s there to fake. Even fake life is now more expensive. The money you would spend on living the fake life, you can live a decent and real life from it. So faking it till you make it is really nonsense.”
