According to the actor, while financial stability remains important, it is not the foundation that sustains a healthy relationship.
“I still think money is important, but what I realise now is that money is just one out of many things that matter,” he said.
He went further to add:
“If all you can bring to a relationship is money, then you’re a very shallow man.”
Timini explained that emotional presence, active listening, and being available for one’s partner are the real ingredients that keep love alive.
The actor noted that in a fast-paced city like Lagos, where many people are already financially comfortable, money alone is no longer impressive.
According to him, what people truly crave is emotional connection and genuine companionship.
He explained that being physically present but emotionally absent was one of the major issues in his past relationship.
Timini admitted that his busy schedule and what he described as a “selfish mindset” contributed to the breakdown of that romance.
He stated:
“Communication was the biggest issue in my past relationship,” he said, adding that he has since reflected on his mistakes and grown from the experience.
Legit.ng recalls that Timini Egbuson had addressed long-standing rumours about his personal life during a lively exchange on The Culture League podcast.
In a viral clip which has since gone viral on the internet, Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface playfully put Timini on the spot.
He opened up about the demands of his acting career, saying he has a packed schedule in Nollywood and there is little room for romance. He said via OneJoblessBoy on X: "A lot of people assume that I'm a womaniser, but I'm not. In the past 2,3 years, Nollywood has taken over my life."
