Monday, August 31, 2026 - Nollywood actress and producer, Ruth Kadiri has revealed why she keeps her personal life private, especially during the initial stages of her marriage.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Dear Ife podcast, Kadiri
explained that she had a phobia of marriage and was unsure whether her marriage
would be successful, so she decided to keep it private.
The mother of two said her husband supported her decision
and 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.
Ruth Kadiri and her husband, Mr Ezerika, got married in a
private ceremony around November 2018.
The couple welcomed their first daughter in August 2019 and
their second daughter in July 2022.
