Veteran Nollywood actress, Bukky Wright, has revealed that despite having gone through five failed marriages, she remains open to the idea of getting married again—if it is destined by God.
The 58-year-old actress shared her thoughts in a recent interview with BBC Yoruba, where she candidly discussed her personal life, experiences abroad, and return to the film industry.
Speaking about her view on marriage, Wright said, “On the issue of marriage, I’m still very much interested but that is if God has destined it. It is not a must. I am not saying other women should not try to get married because as for me, I am still interested in getting married.”
She added that her desire for love and companionship is something she has even taken to God in prayer.
“In fact, to show how much I am interested, when I went to Al Kaaba I told God and I know He is a God that answers prayers,” she said.
