Marrying my best friend biggest mistake of my life. We were meant to be friends, not lovers – Stella Damasus

Stella Damasus, the renowned Nollywood actress, has attributed the “greatest mistake” of her life to religion. She revealed that while she was a choir member in a church, she faced pressure to marry her best friend, who also served as the choir director.

However, she now regrets that decision as they were not meant to be husband and wife. Although they were exceptional friends, their romantic relationship did not thrive. The actress had revealed during an interview with Teju Babyface that she found out her marriage ended on Youtube

She said; “Before him [my ex-husband] there was somebody else that I married. It didn’t work out. Nobody heard my voice. I didn’t talk about it. That passed quietly.

“It lasted eight months. Biggest mistake of my life because the guy was an amazing guy. But he was my friend, my best friend. And religion is what caused that problem that made us marry when we were not supposed to be married. We were supposed to be very good friends because as my friend, he was awesome. But as a married couple, we didn’t work. We just m*ssed it up. And we knew it.

“So when we went our separate ways, we were like out of love and respect for each other, let’s just leave it. We don’t talk about it, we just leave it so that at least we can still say, hello, are you okay? How are you?”
