Nigerian musician Timaya has expressed his opinions about relationships and marriage.
Timaya recently discussed his reluctance to get married in an interview with NAIJA FM, pointing out that ending a marriage is more difficult than ending a romance.
In response to a question concerning his opinions on marriage, Timaya said:
“I’ve never been a marriage guy right from time but it can change, because marriage dey crase? I just look at it like if I marry today, would I be able to get out? In all my previous relationships, I was the one who got out because I don’t like stress.”
Timaya emphasized the importance of open communication in his relationships and his preference for not harboring unresolved issues.
He explained: “If you have a problem with me , let’s talk about it because I don’t like going to bed thinking about things , I go die o. I don’t like anything to bother me at all.”
As a father of four, Timaya discussed his role and the arrangement he has with his children’s mothers.
He explained that his children reside with their respective mothers, but they maintain a strong and close relationship.
Timaya highlighted the joy and stress that comes with being a father and the importance of co-parenting.
He explained: “Being a father is stressful because I love them too much but it’s enjoyable. My four kids live with their mothers so when I want to see them, I ask their mothers and they come to my house and we spend two to three months together then they go back to their mother’s. Christmas is coming and they’d spend it with me as well, but their mothers don’t come because they’re in relationships. We’re all family now so I can’t date any of them, we’re family now and we respect each other”.
