One Thing I Regret Most Is The Fact That I Am Divorced - Monalisa Chinda

She is among the several Nigerian celebrities who has a child and is single, and she seems to be having issues doing the single-parenting thing!

Monalisa Chinda has revealed details about her failed marriage and more in a recent interview with topcelebritiesng.

When asked about what she regret most about her past:

Chinda said “One thing I regret most is the fact that I am divorced. Where I come from I am the first daughter. I am from a royal family. It has never been on record that the first daughter will walk out of her matrimonial home.

“But it is a matter of life and death otherwise I would have stayed back and make my marriage work. I tried to make it work but it takes two people to tango. That’s the only thing I regret, raising my child without a father. It’s a bit painful. But I have to live with it. It’s better that way than to expose my daughter to all sorts of domestic violence. It will definitely disorient her and affect her upbringing. She will be dis-functional. God knows the best. Maybe I should be more careful.”
