In an interview with Saturday Beats, Osagie mentioned that she prefers friendship above marriage and disclosed that she almost married but opted against it.
The actress stated,
“I am not a believer in marriage.” I was about to marry, but I called it off. I believe in the concept of friendship. If one is compatible with one’s partner, a ring is not required to demonstrate commitment. Marriage is not validated.”
She also shared her thoughts on the advise for older women to have children outside of marriage when a union is not Portable.
She added;
“Marriage as an institution has to do with bearing kids. Marriage or no marriage, it is very important for one to have a child. If not for now, at least for old age; even if it has to be done through surrogacy.”
