Veteran Nollywood actor Hanks Anuku has shared his personal story of a failed marriage and the trauma that followed
In an interview on Nollywood Hardcore, ‘The Legend’s Untold Story’, Anuku revealed that his marriage to his ex-wife from Asaba ended due to compatibility issues.
Anuku disclosed that the experience left him traumatized and hesitant to consider marriage with a Nigerian woman again.
Instead, he expressed a preference for Caucasian women, with whom he feels more compatible.
During his time abroad, Anuku had friendships with Caucasian women, which he described as more fulfilling.
Anuku emphasized that his desire for a meaningful connection is rooted in agape love, which he believes is essential for a successful marriage.
Despite his past experiences, Anuku remains open to finding love again, possibly with someone he meets while on vacation.
He said;
“My marriage failed because we were not compatible. It was a wrong marriage. She is not the mother of my kids. But I had a stepdaughter she came with from a previous relationship.
“I have been divorced for more than 10 years. I’m not married to anybody yet but I have another lady who has two kids for me. She has a son and daughter for me and they live together with their mother. I’m not married again. I’m not married after separating from my first wife. I don’t want to get married to any Nigerian. Because I went through a lot of psychological trauma and all that. I never expected that I was going to be separated from her. It hurt me. But I had to move on.
“I thought I had a chance to get married again but it never happened. The mother of my kids is not the kind of woman I want to get married to. So, we are just friends. She has two kids for me but that doesn’t mean I have to marry her. She is just my friend. I’m doing what I can. I like to be married and be happy in the marriage. I have dated for a couple of years and I know that she wasn’t going to be my wife. I like to be in love with somebody and not just be infatuated. Agape love, the greatest of love is what I want in any woman I’m going to get married to.
“It’s not that I don’t want to get married, I’m just scared of Nigerian women. Overseas, I had Caucasian female friends. If I had to go back, it would be a bit too late now. Maybe, if I go on vacation and I find a friend… I found myself a lot more compatible with Caucasian women. When I was overseas, I never dated any colored woman. Blonde women are my specs. They never bothered me until I came to Nigeria.
“My ex-wife is a Nigerian woman from Asaba. I was in love with her. We were cool together but she was always demanding for money. And she also asked me to stop acting because she was jealous of other women being around me. I told her I couldn’t stop acting.”
