Nollywood star Adunni Ade has opened up about her personal journey, revealing that physical beauty, while advantageous, is not enough to maintain a lasting relationship.
Reflecting on her youth, the 48-year-old actress shared how her striking looks and charisma made her the center of attention and opened many doors.
“I used to be the centre of attention, the most admired, the most talked about in my youthful days. Beauty opened many doors. I was loved, I was desired,” she told Vanguard. “But guess what? I’m still not married.”
Adunni emphasized that her unmarried status is not due to a lack of worth. She noted that many men were attracted only to her appearance and not her inner self.
“Some came for the face, not the soul. Some wanted the shine, not the substance. I learned the hard way that a woman must be more than just beautiful,” she reflected.
The mother of one encouraged women to prioritize self-development, core values, and inner strength over outward beauty.
