AFTER a prolonged silence, popular actress, Ireti Doyle has, for the first time, opened up on her divorce from movie producer and actor, Parick Doyle.
Gists of the once-celebrated couple’s separation have circulated in the grapevine for a while now – and the 55-year-old has now laid it bare. She revealed this in a new, trending interview with Chude Jideonwo. Where she said, “We are officially divorced”.
She revealed that she had been separated from Patrick for five years and claimed that getting into the marriage 29 years ago (at 26) was a mistake – as well as her choice of man.
In her interview, she corrected the general impression that she had her first child at 17, noting that she actually did at 19 – and that at the time, she had no business with marriage.
She said: “The truth of the matter is that I had no business being married at that time, talk less of… let’s not even go to the choice of who I got married to.”
Ireti and Patrick Doyle got married in 2004 and have six children together but lost one to the cold hands of death in 2020. In 2017, Ireti moved out of the house after an undisclosed dispute with her husband. Two years after, Patrick Doyle took to social media to publicly apologise to his wife after admitting he was the one who screwed up their relationship.
