Nollywood actress and producer Toyin Abraham has disclosed that her husband, Mr Kolawole Ajeyemi, had threatened to divorce her if she didn’t quit smoking.
Abraham revealed that she was a cigarette addict in a recent episode of The Morayo Show, but she stopped because she didn’t want to lose her marriage.
Although she acknowledged that she still vapes despite giving up cigarettes, she thanked her husband for his support and influence on her life and career.
“My husband, Kolawole Ajeyemi is one of the best things that ever happened to me. He lets me shine and be me. I used to be a cigarette addict but he warned me that if I don’t stop smoking our marriage won’t work. I had to stop it because I valued my marriage. Well, I have stopped cigarettes but I still do vapes,” Abraham said.
The actress added that her husband is not controlling and lets her do whatever makes her happy, provided it is safe.
