“I celebrate when people get divorced” — Bovi

The entertainer made the remarks during a conversation with media personality Morayo Afolabi-Brown, where he discussed the realities of married life and the growing number of separations in society.

Bovi explains stance on divorce

Speaking during the interview, the comedian said he believes some marriages become difficult environments for one or both partners.

Explaining his position, Bovi stated:

“I celebrate when people get divorced because I feel it means one or both people were not breathing well in the marriage.”

The actor noted that while divorce is often viewed negatively, he sees it differently when individuals are unable to thrive within a relationship.

Comedian reflects on his own marriage

Bovi also spoke about his personal experience as a married man, acknowledging that marriage comes with challenges.

While discussing his relationship, he said:

“My own marriage hasn’t been easy, but I would never make life difficult for anyone, and I wouldn’t want anyone to make my life difficult.”

The comedian has been married to Kris Asimonye since 2009, and the couple share three children.

Over the years, he has occasionally spoken publicly about marriage, describing it as a journey that requires understanding, patience and commitment.

Bovi’s comments have generated mixed reactions online. While some people agreed that leaving unhealthy marriages can be beneficial, others argued that couples should exhaust all possible solutions before considering divorce.
