Veteran Yoruba actor, Yinka Quadri, has recounted how his wife, Sadiat, maintained cordial relationships with female colleagues he dated, even when some of them informed her about his relationships with other actresses.
The actor made the revelation in a snippet of an interview with African A List released on Friday, saying his wife was aware of his relationships but did not engage in confrontations with the women involved.
Quadri explained that some actresses would approach his wife to discuss his relationships with other women, despite some of them also being romantically involved with him.
“At some point, some female colleagues in the industry will approach my wife to gossip that I’m dating other actresses, even though I’m also dating some of the very actresses who gossip about me. My wife knows about it and doesn’t fight with them,” he said.
The film star also disclosed that his wife extended hospitality to some of the actresses who visited their home after late-night movie productions, despite knowing about their relationships with him.
“Sometimes, when we finish production late and some of them come to sleep at my house, my wife feeds and takes care of them despite knowing that I’m dating them,” Quadri said.
Quadri met Sadiat in 1985, and they married in 1989. Their marriage is blessed with children and grandchildren.
