Marriage is supposed to last forever but these days, forever seems to be a far cry when it comes to couples and their love lives.

This story is about actors who have stayed married, whether it’s their 4th or 5th marriage, as long as they are happy together, we are team happily ever after.

Some persons never remarry if their marriage crashes, while others have gone ahead to marry a second or even a third time and we are amazed how they find these partners.

1. Stella Damasus

Damasus married her first husband, Jaiye Aboderin, at 21 in 1999. The couple had two daughters before Jaiye died suddenly in 2005. Stella remarried in 2007, this time to Emeka Nzeribe and the marriage lasted for seven months before a mutual agreement to divorce.

In 2011, she became associated with multiple award-winning Nollywood producer and director Daniel Ademinokan; the couple have been together ever since. Their relationship sparked a lot of controversy all over Nigeria and Africa because both parties never publicly admitted to be dating, engaged or even married until 2014.

Daniel Ademinokan was formerly married to Doris Simeon, of which they share a son together.
