Why I married a second wife, by Yul Edochie

“Someone comes into your life and the person makes so much impact in your life and you just don’t want to let this person go or you just can’t let this person go.

Though he admitted to the fact that it was wrong to have let a single lady get so close to him as a married man but argued such things happen on a daily basis.

He further praised his two wives, describing them as “very wonderful women” in their own respective rights, who bring different things to the table.

The father of five said: “I know a lot of you would say as a married man, why would you allow another woman to come into your life and all that? Yes, you can say it’s wrong. It’s wrong, I take the blame for that. You can say it’s wrong. But let’s be honest, these things happen. It happened to me and then I realised that I just couldn’t let this wonderful woman leave my life.

“Make no mistakes about it, these are very wonderful women in their own respective rights. They bring different things to the table. Yes, you can actually love two women at the same time.

“I thought it was not possible but now I know it’s possible. You can actually love two women because two women can be in your life for two different reasons and they bring different things to the table.

“And then you realise than this person is important in your life and this other person is important in your life and you just can’t let any one of them go.

“That’s just the tip of it. I have many more reasons but for now, this is one of them. This is actually the main one. I may decide to bring out more but this is it; a man can actually love two women.

“Someone can come into your life. Yes, you may say the circumstances were wrong and all that. But these things happen. And then you realise you can’t just let this person go. This person has had a lot of impact in your life. You just don’t want this person to go and you try to see how you can make it all work. So, this is just a tip of it.

Appreciated all and sundry for their concern since the news hit the public space, the 40-year-old actor added: “A big thank you to everyone who’s concerned about me, I’m fine. My family is good, we’re working out things.

“Big thank you to the fans, friends all over the world who have shown so much concern about me, about everything.”
