Nollywood actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham has opened up about how her husband, Kolawole Ajeyemi, played a major role in her decision to stop smoking cigarettes.
Speaking during an appearance on The Morayo Show, Abraham described Ajeyemi as one of the best things that has happened to her, saying he has always allowed her to express herself while also encouraging positive changes in her life.
According to the actress, she used to smoke cigarettes regularly but eventually quit after her husband drew a firm line when she became pregnant with their son.
“Kolawole Ajeyemi is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. He lets me be me. I used to smoke cigarettes. I still smoke vape once in a while, but I stopped smoking cigarettes,” she said.
Abraham recalled that during her pregnancy, Ajeyemi asked her to stop smoking. After the child was born, he later saw her smoking during an outing but chose to address the matter privately.
“He told me that he did not say I should not smoke cigarettes, but he must not see the cigarette butt around his child. He warned that anytime he sees such, that would be the end of the marriage,” she recounted.
The actress said the warning became a turning point for her and ultimately motivated her to give up cigarettes completely, although she admitted she still vapes occasionally.
Abraham, who married Ajeyemi in 2019, also dismissed claims that her husband is uncomfortable with her acting career, including romantic scenes in films.
“About kissing in movies, my husband is mature. He is not a boy; he is a man. Most of my colleagues’ wives are comfortable with me. I can do every other thing, but promiscuity is not one of them.
“God has blessed me with a platform now, so I do not have to kiss anybody like years ago,” she added.
