It appears that Kumawood actor Kwaku Manu has faced more than just divorce as a challenge in recent times.
In an interview with Graphic Showbiz, he disclosed that he has had to deal with backbiting and negative experiences in the movie industry, as well as from some of his supposed friends. These experiences have left him without any close companions.
“For the past seven years, it has been me, my children, my family and no friends. As we speak now, there is no one I can call a friend. I am mostly at home minding my business and making sure my children are okay.
These days, I only step out if work demands I go to shoot skits or do interviews. I am most times at home spending time with my children. In fact, my life would have been worse off after the divorce if I didn’t have my children with me. I forget about my worries when I see them. So I don’t joke with them at all,” he revealed.
When actor Kwaku Manu and his lovely wife, Okailey, tied the knot some 14 years ago, it was his dream that they would stay together ‘till death do them part’.
His dream was, however, shattered two years ago when their nuptials took a nosedive and he and his wife had to go their separate ways, although he believes they did everything to make it work.
For this reason, he believes there is no formula for a successful marriage.
“It is the wish of every married man to live happily ever after, with the woman he loves, especially when they have children together.
“I know a lot of Ghanaians want to find out what led to the breakup of my marriage but all I can say for now is that no happy couple will love to break up, especially when they share children between them.
“You see, what might work for one couple may not work for another. I wouldn’t want to go into details about what led to the divorce, all I can say is that I am single for now,” he told Graphic Showbiz.
