BBNaija Pere Egbi opens up on his failed marriage
Big Brother Naija Season 6 housemate, Pere Egbi, revealed details about his past marriage and what led to its crash.
During his time on the show, Pere disclosed that he got married to Pamela Heoma, but the union ended in 2011 when he was just 25 years old.
He explained that his ex-wife suspected he was cheating with a female best friend.
According to Pere, the trouble began when his wife caught him kissing his best friend during a movie shoot.
He clarified that the kiss was purely professional, as they often worked together on film projects in the United States.
Despite his pleas for her to stay, his wife packed up and left their home and later filed for divorce.
“I got divorced because my ex-wife thought I was cheating on her with my best friend,” Pere said. “I never cheated on her. My best friend and I shot a lot of films together, but we could not date each other. Unfortunately, my wife didn’t like her, and after seeing us kiss in a movie scene, she left.”
Pere shared that he went to his ex-wife’s family house to beg her to reconsider, but she refused and proceeded with the divorce.
