Iyabo Ojo links 'glow' to satisfactory sex life, not marital status, in Morayo Show interview
Iyabo Ojo attributed her radiant appearance at 48 to a satisfying sex life rather than marital status, stating during her Monday appearance on Morayo Afolabi-Brown's show that 'sex has a lot to do with a woman's glow' and she's 'getting more than enough.' She clarified happiness isn't tied to being single or married but to the quality of one's relationship.
The actress reflected on her 1999-2001 marriage to Ademidun Ojo, saying it should have ended sooner for her children's wellbeing. She revealed she left not for herself but to provide stability for her kids Felix and Priscilla, noting she's glad she didn't stay as it allowed her children to thrive. Ojo also confirmed her current happiness with talent manager Paul O, describing their relationship as built on mutual respect despite busy schedules and occasional disagreements.
Her comments challenge Nigerian societal norms that often equate marital status with female fulfillment and beauty. By linking her glow to sexual satisfaction rather than wedding rings, she sparks conversation about what truly contributes to women's wellbeing beyond traditional expectations.
With her upcoming cinema project exploring her personal history, Ojo continues to use her platform to discuss women's experiences openly. Does her perspective on happiness and beauty resonate with your own experiences, or do you see marital status differently influencing women's lives in your community?
