Why I couldn’t keep my relationship despite being rich – Actor Timini opens up

Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has opened up about his evolving views on love, money, and the lessons he has learned from past relationships.

In an interview with Jay On-Air TV, the actor revealed that while he once believed financial stability was the most important factor in a relationship, his perspective has since changed.

“I still think money is important, but I now realise it’s only one of many things that matter. If all you can bring to a relationship is money, then you’re a very shallow man,” he said.

Timini explained that emotional availability, active listening, and consistently showing up for a partner are far more crucial to sustaining a healthy relationship than financial provision alone. According to him, wealth by itself is no longer impressive—especially in cities like Lagos, where many people are already financially comfortable.

His remarks have sparked conversations online, with many social media users agreeing that communication and emotional presence are often lacking in modern relationships.

The actor concluded by admitting that poor communication was the major issue in his past relationship, which he attributed to his busy schedule and a selfish mindset at the time. He added that his outlook has since evolved, reflecting personal growth and a deeper understanding of what love truly requires.
