"My wife knows I'm dating other actresses. When we finish shooting sometimes, and some of the actresses I'm dating come to sleep in my house, my wife still gives them food and entertains them even though she knows they're my girlfriends. She doesn't complain," the actor said.
He went on to describe how some of the women even developed a friendly rapport with his wife, sharing gossip and conversation with her, while others reportedly left the home out of jealousy. Quadri explained that late production schedules often meant the actresses stayed overnight, and his wife continued to feed and host them regardless.
Yinka Quadri's 36-year marriage
The remarks take on additional weight given the longevity of Quadri's marriage. He has been with Alhaja Sadiat Adenike Quadri since the mid-1980s and formally married her in 1989. The couple have children together and have maintained their union for over three decades within the Yoruba film industry.

Yinka Qudri replies Pete Edochie
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Yinka Quadri threw his hat into the ring following Pete Edochie's bold declaration about his seniority in the Nigerian entertainment industry, and the veteran Yoruba actor is not holding back.
In a clip from his sit-down with FeelrightNews TV that has since gone viral, Quadri challenged the idea that Edochie stands alone at the top of the profession's timeline. He started by anchoring his argument in history, crediting the late Herbert Ogunde as the true father of theatre in Nigeria, and pointedly noting that Ogunde was a Yoruba man.
