Actress Mercy Aigbe-Gentry has been unofficially married to Lanre Gentry for 6 years and officially for two following their courthouse wedding in December 2013. The style star who was previously married before getting with her current husband is dishing her two cents or naira on why a lot of celebrity marriages these days are failing with a capital F!.

Speaking in an interview with Naij, the actress put it down to people getting married for the wrong reasons.

She also stated that she has not yet experienced any challenges in her marriage…which is quite odd as every relationship has its own share of ups and downs.

Read what she had to say after the jump.


Failed marriages are on the increase now not just Nollywood. Some people are not just ready to be married because it comes with its own challenges and people also get married for the wrong reasons.

She went on to add,

Nollywood marriages are more challenging because we are constantly in the news without being given any breathing space or privacy. Also, some journalists just get stories and are too lazy to verify such stories before publishing them. Journalist needs to know that, people are wicked and will want to get back at someone out there so, they should put their integrity in check before writing any story.

We gotta say Mercy is right, a lot of people are getting married for the wrong reasons. But is it everyone though? How come the divorce rate is a lot higher than 20/30 years ago? How come our parents made it work?
