I’m done with my s*x break, open to dating now – Alex Okoroji

Pretty actress, Alex Okoroji, was once married to Omar
Captan, Ghanaian ‘fine boy’ actor. Not so many people
would know the marriage packed up almost as soon as
it was contracted.
Indeed, speaking to Saturday Beats on the phone
recently, Alex admitted her marriage lasted for a short
time though she was not ready to reveal how long she
was married.
“I can’t really tell you how long I was married.
Sometimes, you won’t realise that a relationship is over
until it is actually over. It was shorter than 18 months
technically,” she said.
But her marriage, short as it may have been, produced
a beautiful baby who is the centre of the actress’s life.
Talking about currently being a single mother, Alex said
it has made her to become stronger.
“You tend to be more self-sufficient. I’m playing double
roles; being the dad and mum at the same time. It’s a
little challenging but at the same time, it’s good.
Sometimes, separation is not always a bad option.”
When asked if she would eventually reconcile with her
ex, Alex said, “No. I don’t think so. I think he has
moved on and I’ve moved on as well. So, I’m not
thinking towards that direction anymore. I think the
most important thing is for us to remain parents to our
child. I’m not interested in being a couple. I just want
everybody to play their roles. That’s all. You can never
stop being a parent, be it a father or a mother to your
child, but you can stop being a wife or a husband.”
Alex claimed she is not in a relationship at the
moment. She said, “I’m married to my work. My focus
at the moment is working on my purpose and building
on my career. I was distracted for a long time. At such
times, you get married, have a child and focus on your
child, but when that is out, I have another focus. Right
now, my focus is on my child and my career. Every
other thing is by the way.”
Alex claimed she has been celibate for a long time but
she is done with it and is ready to date again.
“I’ve been separated for so long but a lot of people
didn’t know until recently that it came out in the
papers. So, I’m absolutely done with my break, but I’m
not in a relationship. I’ve moved on since then. It’s
possible to be on a break, and at the same time be
focused on your work. You may not be in a serious
relationship with someone but then, you are having a
casual relationship with someone or you are seeing
someone once in a while. I’m very open to dating but
I’m not in a relationship with anybody. Right now, my
focus is on my work but that doesn’t mean that if
somebody that I like or get along with comes, I won’t
give attention. I’ll definitely be open to that. So, I’ve
gone past my break,” she said.
