After being repeatedly asked to comment on his ex-wife’s recent marriage, Ghanaian actor Kwaku Manu has finally shared his thoughts, addressing public curiosity about his feelings and the reasons behind their divorce. Despite the speculation, the actor made it clear that he is not suffering from a broken heart.
“Recently, people have been asking me to react to issues about my ex-wife’s re-marriage. Others are also itching to know what broke our marriage. I want you to know that with issues like these, if you’re not sensible and strong, you can die or end up in destruction,” Kwaku Manu stated. He emphasized that he is in a good place emotionally and expressed appreciation for those concerned about his well-being, saying, “I am very okay, I appreciate those calling me, but I am very okay. We all have the right to re-marry. I am more than okay.”
Kwaku Manu further elaborated on the amicable relationship he still maintains with his ex-wife, revealing that he has met her new husband. “Would you believe if I told you I know the man and I’ve met him? We even exchanged pleasantries. We shook hands!” This revelation highlights the healthy and respectful dynamic that exists between them, despite the end of their marriage.
Discussing the challenges of divorce, the actor acknowledged that not everyone has the same level of strength to handle it as he does. He pointed out that divorce can be an emotionally taxing experience, and some people may choose to express their pain publicly. “Don’t blame anyone who vents on social media after they have encountered divorce,” Kwaku Manu remarked, showing empathy for those who might struggle more visibly with the end of a relationship.
Kwaku Manu’s ex-wife, Naa Okailey Nyarko, remarried recently, this time to a White man, after their divorce over three years ago. The couple’s split was publicly confirmed by Kwaku Manu in a 2022 interview with Kobby Kyei, although he chose not to disclose the specific reasons behind their separation. He noted that, despite their best efforts to keep the marriage intact, they ultimately decided to go their separate ways.
Reflecting on marriage, Kwaku Manu emphasized that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for a successful relationship. He suggested that each marriage is unique, with its own challenges and dynamics, and what works for one couple might not work for another. His perspective underscores the complexity of relationships and the importance of understanding that each one requires its own approach to thrive.
