Veteran Nollywood actor Kunle Omisore has opened up about the emotional aftermath of his marriage ending, admitting that loneliness remains a significant challenge even though he has female companionship. In a candid interview with African A-List, aired on YouTube on August 15, 2026, Omisore discussed his divorce, his role as a father, and his aspirations for the future.
Healing After Divorce: A Lifelong Process
Omisore was blunt about the healing process, describing it as something that never fully concludes. He acknowledged that while he has chosen not to dwell on the pain, it has permanently shaped who he is. “It's difficult; it's only God who can heal a divorcee. I am not holding on to the hurt; it's just going to be a part of you. You cannot live out of it,” he said.
The actor emphasized that the absence of genuine companionship is what strikes him most, not the lack of female attention. He drew a clear distinction between having women around and having a wife, stressing that they are entirely different experiences.
Loneliness at Home: Hiding Struggles from His Children
Omisore described moments when he would return home already burdened, with no one to offer comfort. Rather than let his children witness his distress, he would sit in his car outside the house until he had composed himself. “You'll feel lonely in the house; it's not like you don't have a woman who can satisfy you, but that is different from having a wife. There are times when you know that when you're troubled, someone would calm you down. Instead, I will get home, I will park outside for a while, and wind down, so those children wouldn't know something is wrong with me,” he said.
Despite the emotional weight of the divorce, Omisore refused to frame the marriage itself as a failure, pointing to his children as its most significant outcome. “I didn't suffer a failed marriage because glorious children came from it,” he stated.
Vision for the Next Decade: Europe and Raising Children in Faith
Looking ahead, the actor has a clear picture of where he wants to be in ten years. He spoke of returning to Europe to live quietly and focus on raising his children with a strong spiritual foundation. “In the next ten years, I want to go back to Europe, live a quiet life and raise my children in the way of the Lord,” he said.
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Omisore also spoke about his bond with actress Mide Martins. He explained that his relationship with her goes beyond work, describing it as family-oriented and genuine, which is why he does not charge her for appearances in her films. Omisore further explained that he prefers female friendships to avoid competition.
