Do you know that some Nigerian celebrities in the entertainment industry have managed to make their relationships and marriages last, but for every duo who stands the test of time, others just couldn’t.
Some Nollywood actresses have been in marriages which crashed amidst several controversies which did not deter them from trying again and again.
We present a list of Nollywood actresses who have headed to the altar more than just once.
1. Stephanie Okereke
A young lady has given many people the shock of their lives after she went on a rampage, killing her own mother.
Heather Mack confessed to killing her mom and claims she framed Tommy Schaefer
A young woman identified as Heather Mack has made a chilling jailhouse confession as she admitted killing her mom and blackmailing her boyfriend to help stuff the body into a suitcase.
According to Daily Star UK, Heather Mack, a 21-year-old, who is serving 10 years in prison for being an accessory to her mom’s death, recorded a video from behind bars where she claims to come clean about the crime.
She accuses her mom Shelia von Wiese-Mack, 62, of killing her father Jim, and claims she decided to kill her to avenge his death.
Videos uploaded to YouTube has Mack talking to the camera and claiming she framed her boyfriend Tommy Schaefer, 22, for the killing in 2014.
Mack was pregnant at the time of the killing and has since given birth to a daughter in prison.
Mack, from Chicago, claims in the video she acted alone and her boyfriend who is currently serving 18 years in prison for murder is innocent.
She tells the camera she “does not want to live a lie anymore” and regrets her boyfriend serving a prison sentence.
The 21-year-old said: “I trapped him here. And that is what I regret. I don’t regret killing my mother. And as evil, as that may sound that’s my reality.
“I regret bringing Tommy into it. I regret being selfish. I regret trapping an innocent person into this because it was my battle – it was my mother, my father.”
Mack claims she killed her mother on her own in three videos uploaded from prison in Indonesia.
She then told her boyfriend she would tell the police he murdered her unless he helped clean the murder scene in a hotel room in Bali, during a holiday in Indonesia.
Her father died on a family holiday in 2006, and Mack claims she wanted revenge on her mother.
She said: “I made it up in my heart, in my mind, my soul, in my blood, in the oxygen running through my body that I wanted to kill my mother.”
Her mother’s sister, Debbi Curran, says Mack’s claims are untrue.
She said: “Since the brutal murder of my dear sister, Sheila, two and a half years ago, our family has had to endure endless lies about what actually happened in Bali.“Heather Mack’s stories about her relationship with her mother and the events in Bali have changed so many times; it is impossible to discern truth from deception.“However, her accusation about Sheila killing Jim is completely false. Sheila loved Jim very deeply and was devastated by his death.”

Pictured above is Alhaji Aliyu, a crippled man from Tsape Zamfara who uses a wheelchair to sell air freshener, shoe polish etc in Abuja.
A Facebook user met him selling his products around Utako, Abuja. According to him, he added Alhaji to his name because he wants to visit Saudi Arabia some day.
I see many healthy looking people begging on the streets relying on passerby to provide their needs but Aliyu sells his goods on a wheelchair.
He is such an inspiration!
Monalisa first marriage was to Dejo Richards but the marriage did not withstand the test of time as it collapsed sooner than expected. The couple parted ways in 2009 after they had a daughter together. She later married Victor Tonye Coker in 2016.

12. Regina Askia
A pregnant teenage mum caused a stir when she turned up at her boyfriend’s wedding – but failed to stop him getting hitched to someone else. Rosa Esperanza Reyes, 17, showed up at a church to stop her 40-year-old lover from marrying his fiancee. She was carrying their one-year-old child and claimed to be pregnant again.
The incident has caused outrage in Nicaragua, where the age of s*xual consent is 18.
But despite the fuss, two-timing Jose Sabino Davila still married 18-year-old Rita Elena Lopez at the church in Masaya, Nicaragua.
And authorities are now urging the young woman to report her boyfriend, as she is under the legal age for consent in the country.
Holding her baby, she told authorities Davila was the father of the child in her arms and the unborn one inside her, and that he had even stayed with her the night before the wedding.
She said: “I am his wife, I have his son and I am pregnant. I am only 17 years old. I am here to stop the wedding, do you know why?
“Because I am pregnant and I want to avoid the wedding so that neither I nor the bride will be with this man.”
According to local media, Rosa Esperanza has had a relationship with Davila for three years and is currently six months pregnant.
Edwin Roman, the priest who married the couple, said: “Apparently, the bride already knew that her boyfriend had another girlfriend so she was not surprised over the scandal outside the church.”
Lawyer Manuel de Jesus Chavez said Davila could face two to four years in prison if found guilty of s*x with a minor aged 14 to 18.
The s*xy mother was briefly married to Charles Orie, but she later moved on and married an American man, Ruddy Williams.
