Popular Nigerian broadcaster and host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Frank Edoho, has revealed that his second marriage has ended in divorce.
He disclosed during a recent appearance on the Tea With Tay podcast, where he spoke candidly about his struggles with marriage and relationships.
The respected TV personality admitted that despite putting in maximum effort, both of his marriages failed. Speaking with honesty and self-reflection, Edoho said he now questions whether he is cut out for marriage at all.
“Maybe I’m not good at marriage”, Edoho
In the interview, Edoho stated, “Maybe I’m not good at marriage, I must confess.” He explained that in both his first and second marriages, he gave everything he could. Yet, the relationships did not work out.
He described a deep emotional investment in his partners, saying, “I know that I went above and beyond for the two marriages. I carried my partner. I can abandon everything for her.” Still, even such sacrifices, he added, were not enough to keep the marriages alive.
Edoho stressed that he doesn’t blame his ex-wives for walking away. “You don’t blame them for falling out of love with you,” he said.
Reflecting on love and compatibility
The TV host also took time to reflect on the difference between love and true compatibility. According to him, while one may be in love with someone, that person may not necessarily be a soul mate.
“The two women I had been married to are not my soul mates,” he said. “The love of your life is the person who comes to your mind when you think of love. But your soul mate is someone who understands you even before you express yourself. You naturally align with them.”
This distinction, he noted, may explain why both marriages, despite strong feelings, did not last.
A look back at Edoho’s marriages
Frank Edoho was first married to Katherine Obiang, a broadcaster and actress. Their union, which produced children, ended in 2011 amid reports of disagreements. Following the end of that relationship, Edoho married his second wife, Sandra Onyenuchenuya.
While his marriage to Sandra was less publicly documented, it was known to be stable for many years. However, his recent disclosure confirms that the relationship has quietly ended.
Edoho did not go into the specific reasons for the second split but made it clear that love alone was not enough to sustain the relationship.
“Even Kaka got divorced”
To support his point, Edoho referenced Brazilian football star Ricardo Kaka, who was once considered a model husband and deeply religious man. Despite Kaka’s good looks and positive public image, his wife still divorced him. Edoho quoted her reason: “He is too good.”
He used this example to suggest that even people who seem ideal partners may still face rejection in love. “Sometimes, being the perfect partner isn’t enough,” he said.
Edoho’s story sparks reactions
Frank Edoho’s openness about his marital struggles has triggered conversations online, with many praising his vulnerability and honesty. Some sympathised with him, while others used his experience to highlight how challenging modern relationships can be, even for people in the public eye.
His story adds to a growing list of Nigerian celebrities who have recently spoken publicly about relationship issues, further shedding light on the pressures and complexities of love, fame, and personal growth.
Final thoughts
Though Edoho’s remarks came with a touch of sadness, he showed no bitterness. Instead, he shared his experiences with grace and insight, hoping others might learn from them.
As he continues his career in media, Edoho’s story stands as a reminder that even those in the spotlight face personal battles, and sometimes, being “too good” doesn’t guarantee a happy ending.
