Responding to the host's light-hearted observation that single mothers seemed to radiate an almost enviable joy, Iyabo Ojo offered a candid and unexpected explanation.

According to the mother of two, intimacy plays a significant role in a woman's overall well-being and physical glow, and she suggested that single mothers tend to be more sexually satisfied than many of their married counterparts.

"Sėx has a lot to do in a woman's glow. The reason single mothers are living happier than most married women is because we are getting more than enough sėx," she said.

The actress was careful to add nuance to her position. She stressed that marriage itself was not the determining factor in a woman's happiness, but rather the quality of the person she was with.

"I think some married women also are happy. I don't think it's about being single or being married. I think it's about the person that you're with," Iyabo said.

Iyabo Ojo acknowledged that many women in marriages were genuinely content because their husbands were good partners.
