Veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie has shared his perspectives on the complexities of modern relationships during a recent interview, offering thoughtful insights into marital dynamics and polygamy.

Reflecting on contemporary trends, Pete expressed concern over the declining longevity of marriages in today’s society, noting that unions lasting over a decade have become increasingly uncommon.

“It’s troubling to see how quickly marriages fall apart these days,” he remarked, lamenting how enduring love has been overshadowed by fleeting and superficial connections.

The celebrated actor also addressed the topic of polygamy, posing a critical question to men who seek multiple wives.

“What do you gain from having another wife that you can’t get from the one you already have?” he asked, adding, “The excitement you feel in intimacy is not about the other person—it comes from you, the man. So why the need for another partner?”

These remarks come amid public discourse surrounding his son Yul Edochie’s decision to marry a second wife, a move that has sparked significant debate on social media.

While Pete refrained from directly criticising his son, his comments seemed to champion commitment and stability within marriage, advocating for deeper reflection on the decisions that shape relationships.
