Years after her failed marriage, Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has revealed the qualities she is looking for in her future partner.
In an interview with The Honest Bunch podcast, Yvonne disclosed that she wants a man with a good mind and empathy.
According to her, she wants a man who can give her N20 million when she asks for N1 million.
“Person wey get good mind na im I dey find. If you get good mind, you get empathy, I fit say ‘Baby, give me N1million, you go give me N20million”.
Yvonne Jegede emphasized that a partner with empathy wouldn’t question her requests or assume she’s asking for her father’s money. Instead, they would understand her needs and show willingness to support her.
“But if you no get empathy, you go ask me first of all, say, ‘It is your father’s money?’”

Elsewhere in the interview, Yvonne revealed that she walked out of her marriage because she was contributing more financially than her ex-husband.
The movie star further expressed regrets over choosing love instead of money. She added that her ex-husband took every joke as disrespectful because he was older than her, which worsened things.
Recall that Jegede met the son of late actress Bukky Ajayi on the set of Tade Ogidan’s popular drama series, ‘Behind the Siege”.
After years of being together, the lovebirds tied the knot in a classy wedding ceremony in Lagos in February 2018. Unfortunately, the marriage didn’t last long; a year later, the couple split while Yvonne was still pregnant.
In an interview, Yvonne disclosed that her ex-husband is a deadbeat father who hasn’t shown any form of support or interest in the life of their son, Xavier.
She recounted how Olakunle Fawole only showed up once to see the child after she gave him an ultimatum and how he doesn’t celebrate their son’s birthdays.
However, the mother of one is grateful for her son, as she pondered how her life would have become if she hadn’t given birth before the marriage hit the rock.
She disclosed that she would have killed herself as she sent a message to her mini-me about making her life complete.
