Monalisa Chinda in a chat with Punch revealed that she is open to love and marriage as she had always wanted more children.
Though she loves being a mother, being a single one can be challenging. The actress was once married to ex, Segun Dejo-Richards who is now remarried five years after their split.
If she is open to getting married again,
I love the whole concept and idea of love. I am open to
love and marriage that would work. Marriage is always a better option
and I love to be loved. I hope to have more children because I had
always wanted to have three children. Three is just perfect but it
depends. I can never go back to my ex-husband but we maintain a cordial
relationship because he is the father of my child. He speaks to his
child whenever he wants to.
On how challenging it is being a single mum
Motherhood has been very lovely but being a single mother
has been very challenging. There is a huge difference between being a
mother and being a single mom. When you are a single mom, you have to do
everything yourself, you have to be the mother, father, driver,
teacher, name it. If you don’t have a help, you have to switch on the
generator, drop and pick the child from school; it is crazy. You have to
help her with her homework and if I have to travel, I would have to
bribe my secretary to stay in my house for some nights so that she can
help my daughter with her homework. It is a lot of mental work. I have
got used to it and if I don’t take care of my daughter, nobody will do
it for me.
Addressing the rumours of beef between herself and Rita Dominic
Rita Dominic and I are not at loggerheads. We just
drifted apart and she is still my sister. We went to the same school. I
do not think that anybody should have a permanent enemy or a permanent
friend. As you grow up in this big industry, your interests start to
differ and that is just what happened.
