Monday, July 7, 2025 - Nollywood actress and producer Ruth Kadiri has shared why she chooses to keep her marriage out of the public eye.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Dear Ife series
with Ifedayo Agoro, the film star revealed that choosing privacy over publicity
has been one of the best decisions she’s made.
Ruth Kadiri explained that by keeping her marriage private,
she’s been able to stay grounded and focus on her relationship without external
interference.
“I think it
was the best decision I ever made because it has helped me stay grounded. It
has helped me define my relationship. I don’t have external factors deciding
how I deal or relate with my spouse,” she said.
The mother of two added that her husband also enjoys freedom
from public pressure, since not many people know who he is.
“People do
not know him, so there is no pressure on his end,” she said.
Clearing the air, she stressed that her husband is not a
secret—just private.
“My husband
is not a secret. My life is not as private as people think. People who know me
know him. That’s enough. I’m not hiding my husband. We go to church together,
events they post his pictures. Most events I organize, he is there.”
She added that he simply prefers to keep a low profile.
“Check his
social media page, he posts only word of God—not even his pictures. He is
private.”
Ruth Kadiri also touched on the often-ignored pressure
celebrity marriages face, saying she’s grateful she has at least one area of
her life that she can control.
“Marital
pressures as celebrities is also something we don’t talk about a lot. Seeing
that my career is thriving at this point, I keep telling myself thank God
there’s an aspect of me that I can stand on and control.”
