Veteran Nollywood actor, Patrick Doyle has opened up about his divorce from his ex-wife, Ireti Doyle.
In a recent interview with Olumide Iyanda, publisher of QEDNG, the 63-year-old actor revealed that he harbors no hard feelings towards Ireti Doyle despite their split.
Patrick Doyle described her as an “excellent mother” who takes great care of their children, providing them with comprehensive care.
He said, “As she told you, she was happiest with me. If I am not true to myself, then I am an agbaya. My mother, my sisters, and my late wife that isn’t a shade to anybody; they impacted me in a positive way.
“When something didn’t make me happy, why should I remember that fondly? The outcome of our marriage wasn’t pleasant. So why should I lie?
“We are very cordial now. Ireti is a first-class provider and a mother to her children. She is taking fantastic care of my daughter. How can I wish her ill? As far as mothers go, they don’t come any better. She provides 360 mothering care”
Patrick also addressed a 2018 Facebook post that seemed like an apology to Ireti, explaining that it was an attempt to ease tensions and take responsibility for their marital issues.
“It is my duty as a man to say you don’t look happy. Whatever happens, the responsibility for the stability of the home is that of the head of the home.
“So that was a bid to fulfil my responsibility to ease whatever the tensions were at the time,” he added.
