Veteran Nollywood actor ,Pete Edochie has shared his thoughts on the complexities of modern relationships, offering candid insights during a recent interview.
Reflecting on today’s marital dynamics, Pete expressed concern about the growing instability of marriages and touched on his son Yul Edochie’s controversial decision to take a second wife.
The legendary actor lamented the declining longevity of marriages, noting that unions lasting over a decade have become increasingly uncommon.
“It’s disheartening to see how quickly marriages collapse these days,” Pete remarked, stressing that genuine, enduring love is being replaced by shallow, fleeting connections.
On the subject of polygamy, Pete questioned the rationale behind men seeking multiple wives.
“What can another wife give you that the one you already have cannot?” he asked.
He added that, “The excitement in intimacy doesn’t come from the other person—it comes from you, the man. So why the need for another partner?”
These remarks follow the widespread social media debate over Yul Edochie’s recent second marriage.
While Pete stopped short of directly criticizing his son, his comments appear to promote commitment and stability in marriage.
