Renowned Nollywood actress Rita Dominic has finally opened up about why she chose to wait until the age of 46 to tie the knot. In a recent interview, the actress disclosed that she wanted to marry for the right reasons and not succumb to societal pressures.
Dominic explained that despite meeting several decent men throughout her life, she never felt a deep connection or compatibility with any of them. She emphasized that she is not one to force relationships that aren’t working.
“I wanted to ensure that I was marrying for the right reasons, not because of the pressure exerted by society,” Dominic stated. “Even before I got married, the pressure was always there, but I deliberately ignored it. I believe in marrying the man of my dreams, not the man society expects me to marry.”
The actress further elaborated on her decision, highlighting the fact that if anything were to go wrong in her marriage, she would be the one left to deal with the aftermath, not society.
Dominic recently married her partner, Fidelis Anosike, in a traditional ceremony held in April 2022. The couple later celebrated their nuptials with a lavish wedding ceremony in North Yorkshire, England, in November 2022.
The star-studded event was attended by numerous industry colleagues and well-wishers, marking a joyous occasion for the newlyweds. Rita Dominic’s decision to prioritize her own happiness and well-being in marriage serves as an inspiration to many who may face similar societal pressures.
