Controversial Nollywood actress Esther Nwachukwu has stirred fresh debate after revealing that she prefers dating married men over single men, describing them as more mature and understanding in relationships.
The actress made the remarks during a recent appearance on The Honest Bunch Podcast, where she spoke openly about her dating preferences, views on relationships and financial security.
According to Nwachukwu, she deliberately avoids romantic relationships with single men, insisting that married men possess qualities she finds more appealing.
“I don’t have sex with single guys. I go for married men. Married men are more mature. They understand you,” she said.
She further claimed that some married men deliberately hold back during intimate moments outside their marriages.
“Some lazy married men don’t last in bed because they want to save their strength so that their wives won’t know they have had sex outside,” she added.
Beyond her dating preferences, the actress also shared her views on infidelity and financial stability in relationships, saying she places greater value on financial support than faithfulness.
“I don’t care if a man cheats on me as long as he gives me money. Money is love,” she said.
Nwachukwu went further to claim that wealth is a major factor in her choice of a partner, arguing that many women today prioritise financial security over romance.
“In this generation, women love money more than love. I need to elevate myself. I wasn’t born with poverty,” she said.
She also revealed that she would not object to marrying a polygamous man, saying her priority is living a comfortable life rather than being the only wife.
“I am available to marry a man that has six wives. I just want to be comfortable. I am coming from a poor background, so I cannot end up in a poor home,” she said.
Her comments have since generated widespread reactions on social media, with many Nigerians debating her unconventional views on relationships, marriage and the role of financial security in choosing a partner.
