Beautiful Nollywood actress, Alex Okoroji, who was once married to Omar Captan, Ghanaian ‘fine boy’ actor with the marriage packing up almost just after its inception, while speaking with Saturday Beats recently on a phone chat admitted that her marriage lasted for a short time, though she was not ready to reveal how long she was married. The marriage as short as it was produced a beautiful baby who is the centre of the actress’s life.
“I can’t really tell you how long I was married. Sometimes, you won’t realize that a relationship is over until it is actually over. It was shorter than 18 months technically,” she said.
Talking about currently being a single mother, Alex said it has made her to become stronger.
“You tend to be more self-sufficient. I’m playing double roles; being the dad and mum at the same time. It’s a little challenging but at the same time, it’s good. Sometimes, separation is not always a bad option.” She said.
When asked if she would eventually reconcile with her ex, Alex said:
“No. I don’t think so. I think he has moved on and I’ve moved on as well. So, I’m not thinking towards that direction anymore. I think the most important thing is for us to remain parents to our child. I’m not interested in being a couple. I just want everybody to play their roles. That’s all. You can never stop being a parent, be it a father or a mother to your child, but you can stop being a wife or a husband.
Alex claimed she is not in a relationship at the moment, when she said;
“I’m married to my work. My focus at the moment is working on my purpose and building on my career. I was distracted for a long time. At such times, you get married, have a child and focus on your child, but when that is out, I have another focus. Right now, my focus is on my child and my career. Every other thing is by the way.”
Alex also claimed she has been celibate for a long time but she is done with it and is ready to date again.
“I’ve been separated for so long but a lot of people didn’t know until recently that it came out in the papers. So, I’m absolutely done with my break, but I’m not in a relationship. I’ve moved on since then. It’s possible to be on a break, and at the same time be focused on your work. You may not be in a serious relationship with someone but then, you are having a casual relationship with someone or you are seeing someone once in a while.
I’m very open to dating but I’m not in a relationship with anybody. Right now, my focus is on my work but that doesn’t mean that if somebody that I like or get along with comes, I won’t give attention. I’ll definitely be open to that. So, I’ve gone past my break,” she said.
