Veteran actor Patrick Doyle has opened up about his divorce from actress Ireti Doyle, stating he harbors no ill feelings towards her.
In an interview with Olumide Iyanda, Patrick clarified that a previous social media post, praising his mother, sisters, and late wife, was not a shade towards Ireti.
Patrick explained that the post was about people who positively impacted his life, and he questioned why he should fondly remember an unhappy marriage.
He praised Ireti as a “first-class provider and mother” who is taking good care of their daughter and providing excellent care to her children.
Patrick emphasised that he and Ireti are now cordial, and he has no reason to wish her ill.
He said: “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 weren’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?
