Nigerian media personality Roby Ekpo has set social media abuzz after opening up about the emotional weight of an 11-year marriage that ended without children, offering a deeply personal account that has sparked widespread debate.
Speaking during an appearance on The Honest Bunch, Ekpo revisited the highs and lows of the relationship, describing it as a prolonged journey filled with hope, confusion, and eventual disappointment. Now 48, he revealed that he remains without a child, a reality that led him, at one point, to seek medical answers in a bid to understand what was going wrong.
According to him, a major turning point came when he allegedly discovered that his ex-wife had been using contraceptives throughout their marriage without his knowledge. The revelation, he said, shook the very foundation of their union and forced him to question whether they had ever been aligned in their desire to build a family.
As the marriage unravelled, Ekpo claimed more troubling issues surfaced. He recounted receiving a message from his former partner in which she reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with the relationship, citing emotional disconnect and lack of support as key concerns. The situation, he suggested, painted a picture of a union already strained beneath the surface.
He further alleged that a trip his ex-wife took abroad—initially presented to him as a medical necessity- was later revealed to be for cosmetic surgery, a discovery he said widened the cracks in their already fragile relationship.
Ekpo’s revelations have since ignited mixed reactions, with many questioning both sides of the story while others reflect on the broader themes it raises. Though his account remains one-sided, it has reignited conversations around trust, communication, and the often-unspoken complexities that can shape long-term marriages.
