Bobby Maris, the estranged husband of Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo, has addressed growing public interest in their marital crisis, saying he has deliberately chosen not to speak publicly out of consideration for their children.
In a statement shared on social media, Bobby Maris responded to followers who had been urging him to reveal his side of the story amid reports of trouble in his marriage to the actress.
According to him, although many people have encouraged him to break his silence, he has no intention of engaging in a public exchange or making allegations because he wants to protect his children from the long-term effects of such disputes.
“For those asking me to speak up, no, I wouldn’t do that because of my kids,” he wrote.
