Nollywood actress Damilola Adegbite is encouraging people to share more uplifting stories about healthy relationships and successful marriages, saying she still believes lasting love exists despite the negative narratives that often dominate conversations.
In a video posted on her Instagram page, the actress reflected on the growing number of stories about heartbreak, betrayal and troubled marriages circulating online, admitting they had left her wondering if others still believed in genuine, enduring love.
“I still believe that long-lasting relationships can exist,” she said. “Besides the horror and terrible stories that we keep hearing, disappointments in marriages, betrayals and heartbreak.”
Adegbite questioned whether she was “dreaming of La La Land” for holding onto that belief before asking followers if anyone had experienced a relationship in which their partner had truly been a blessing behind the scenes rather than simply projecting a perfect image in public.
She explained that she was referring to relationships where partners help each other grow into better versions of themselves, away from the spotlight.
The actress went on to urge people in healthy relationships to speak up more often, arguing that positive examples deserve just as much attention as stories of failed romances.
“Let’s normalise sharing stories of relationships and marriages that bring peace, growth and purpose too,” she said.
