Osas Ighodaro, the Nigerian actress, has recounted how an ex-lover cheated on her while she was based in America.
In an interview on the Lone Wolf podcast,
the film star described the experience as “devastating,” saying she had
pictured spending forever with her then-boyfriend.
She explained that she drove to Baltimore to surprise him,
only to discover another woman who was pregnant in his room, and was forced out
by security after confronting him.
She said the betrayal completely shattered her, leaving her
heartbroken and realising that he, or perhaps God, had other plans for their
relationship.
“After getting a new car, I drove all the way to Baltimore
to surprise my then-boyfriend. I stood at his door for about five minutes
waiting for him to answer. Five minutes might not seem long, but in that
moment, it felt like forever. He finally opened the door, and I said, ‘What
took you so long? Surprise! Aren’t you happy to see me?’” she said.
“His response was, ‘Why didn’t you say you were coming?’ I
thought he’d be happy that I drove all the way to see him, especially since I
had just bought this car. I tried to go to his room, but the door was locked. I
asked why, and he said he had a friend there. I told him to come out, and he
said it was a girl, not a guy.
“I asked why he had a girl in his room, and he told me to
sit down.”
The film star disclosed that the situation quickly escalated
when he called security personnel to escort her out of the house.
“I started shouting. At that point, he called the complex
security to escort me out, telling me he didn’t want me to get in trouble for
fighting a pregnant woman,” she said.
“My whole world collapsed. I’ve always been a lover, someone
who puts my all into relationships. This was devastating for me.
“It was young love, someone, I thought I wanted to spend the
rest of my life with, but clearly, he, or maybe God, had other plans.”
The actress said she now sees the situation as a blessing,
realising that moving to Baltimore wouldn’t align with her bigger dreams.
“I finally see it as a blessing because we were already
having conversations and moving to Baltimore to live our lives,” she added.
“I always knew that wasn’t going to be enough for me. My
dreams are global and big, and moving to Baltimore wouldn’t help me achieve
them. I needed to be in New York, around creatives, for this to happen.
“Eventually, I saw it as a blessing. You were about to go
into a normal life, but the creative life isn’t normal. I knew that wasn’t what
I wanted, so even though it was devastating at the time, it was ultimately a
blessing.”
Ighodaro married Nigerian actor Gbenro Ajibade in 2015 after
meeting on the set of Tinsel. The couple divorced in 2019. They share one
daughter, Azariah.
