Kadiri also clarified that her husband supported her decision, revealing that they agreed to invite only 50 people to their wedding.

Nollywood actress and producer, Ruth Kadiri has spoken up on the reason behind her decision to keep her marriage and personal life away from the public’s eye.

The actress, while speaking in a recent episode of the Dear Ife podcast, explained that she had a phobia of marriage and was unsure whether her marriage would be successful, so she decided to keep it private.

Kadiri also clarified that her husband supported her decision, revealing that they agreed to invite only 50 people to their wedding.

“I had a phobia of marriage. I was battling with the fear of the unknown and asking myself, ‘Am I going to make this decision and everything will now scatter?’ So, I wasn’t really ready to have a public marriage, and my husband was okay with it. Also, I didn’t want a lot of drama regarding my relationship. That’s why my husband and I invited only 50 people to our wedding. Twenty-five people were invited by him, while 25 others were invited by me. If I were abroad, I guess we would have just probably walked to the registry and gotten married,” she said.

The actress tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2018. They welcomed their first daughter in August 2019 and their second daughter in July 2022.
