Popular Ghanaian actress and television presenter Nana Ama McBrown has revealed that she is divorced from her husband of twelve years, Maxwell Mensah.
Speaking on TV3’s New Day, McBrown explained that the decision to end the marriage was made mutually and amicably, stressing that there was no bitterness between them.
“I’m the happiest right now. I have gone through a divorce. Yes, I am divorced. I am, and I am not ashamed to say, but I did so beautifully. My husband and I are cool. We spoke yesterday, we speak today, we speak tomorrow, we meet, I go to our house [to see] my in-laws and everything.
Look, I am a happy woman. We are the best of friends. We didn’t go through it like the bitter ones. I was tired, he was tired. We sat down, we said Let’s talk about it. Let’s move on,” she said.
McBrown stressed that despite the separation, she maintains a cordial relationship with her ex-husband and his family. She added that although her former in-laws and ex-husband wanted her to remain in the marriage, she felt unable to continue.
“He is a correct guy. I still feel him, but I got tired of the marriage,” the multi-talented showbiz personality said.
She revealed that the marriage was contracted under customary law, meaning the separation only required the involvement of both families.
McBrown said what gives her the most joy is the child she shares with Maxwell Mensah, describing their daughter as a precious gift from the marriage.
“I will not marry again. I can give birth again, but I won’t marry again,” she noted.
“I have been married for 12 years. When you see celebrities who have been married for 12 years, applaud them,” she added.
Before her public disclosure, there had been widespread rumours suggesting that the couple were facing challenges in their marriage. Some reports alleged that claims of extramarital affairs involving Maxwell Mensah may have contributed to the breakdown of the union.
Nana Ama McBrown and Maxwell Mensah were married for 12 years and have a daughter together, Maxine.
