Nollywood veteran actor, Patrick Doyle has spoken about his divorce from his ex-wife and colleague, Ireti Doyle for the first time.
In an interview with Olumide Iyanda, the publisher of QED.NG, Patrick discloed that he harbours no ill feelings towards his Ireti despite the unpleasant outcome of their marriage.
Addressing a controversial post he made months ago, praising his mother, sisters, and late wife as the best, he clarified that it was not intended as a slight against Ireti. He explained that those individuals had positively impacted his life and questioned why people would expect him to dwell on his time with her, particularly when it wasn’t a pleasant experience.
Patrick showed praises on Ireti, he described her as a first-class provider and an exceptional mother to her children. He highlighted how well she cares for their daughter and provides comprehensive mothering care to all her children.
“As she told you, she was happiest with me. If I am not true to myself, then I am an agbaya. My mother, my sisters, and my late wife that isn’t a shade to anybody; they impacted me in a positive way.
When something didn’t make me happy, why should I remember that fondly? The outcome of our marriage wasn’t pleasant. So why should I lie?
We are very cordial now. Ireti is a first-class provider and a mother to her children. She is taking fantastic care of my daughter. How can I wish her ill? As far as mothers go, they don’t come any better. She provides 360 mothering care”.
“Ireti is a first class mother and provider…”
