June 27, (THEWILL) – Nollywood actress Ini Edo’s former husband, Philip Ehiagwina, is obviously a firm believer in the marriage institution. Despite his two failed marriages, he got married last weekend for the third time in Irrua, Edo State.
Phillip’s first marriage in 2002 was to a lady named Ruth Okoro. Several years later, the marriage hit the rocks. He had accused her of infidelity. According to him, before he joined her in the United States of America where she lived, she had informed him of her plan to bring in a Ghanaian boyfriend of hers to live with her. In spite of his warning not to do that, she went ahead and brought the man. When the Ghanaian moved in, Ruth’s friend, who shared the apartment with her, had to move into the living room. Philip accused her of sharing the same bed with the man, taking showers with him, etc. Eventually, Phillip found out that Ruth was pregnant, but he claimed he wasn’t responsible for it as they barely acted as man and wife. He left her and their divorce was finalised 2007. In 2008, he met and married Ini Edo. Six years later, the marriage broke up. While Ini claimed the breakup was due to domestic violence, Philip blamed it on infidelity and he had evidence to prove it. He allegedly demanded a refund of the bride price he paid to marry Ini and his wishes were granted.
Now eight years after his second marriage ended, Philip, a die-hard lover, has tied the knots with another woman. However, those who know him very well insinuate that his third marriage may likely go the way of the previous ones, as he was the real problem, not the women. Time will tell.
