Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has shared her perspective on her two previous marriages, asserting that she doesn't view them as "failures."

In a recent interview, Akindele revealed that her mother instilled in her the belief that failure is an integral part of the journey towards success.

Akindele emphasized her pragmatic approach to marriage, stating that she takes it "as it comes." She underscored the significance of her mental health and career, considering them to be higher priorities. The actress expressed her primary focus on leading an impactful life and providing for her children and siblings.

Reflecting on her attitude towards perceived failures, Akindele remarked, "If you ask me now, can you tell me one failure? I don't see it as a failure. My personal life—marriage—I take it as it comes. My mental health is very important. My career is very important, darling. I have to make an impact. I have to empower many people. I have to inspire the young people out there. I have to stay strong for my children and my siblings. Why am I living? I have a purpose, so my head is up. Yes, I cry, yes, I break down, but after I cry, I just look in the mirror and say, 'keep moving.'
