According to report by Nigerian Tribune on Friday, May 15, 2026, veteran Nollywood actress Bukky Wright has shared a deeply personal experience about her past, revealing that she lost custody of her children at a young age after marrying into a wealthy family.
She made the disclosure during a recent public appearance, and the video has since gained widespread attention online.
According to her, the emotional separation from her children played a major role in shaping her life decisions, especially her entry into the film industry.
Bukky explained that acting was never part of her original plan, but she eventually embraced it with a specific purpose in mind.
She said she went into acting so that her children, when grown, would have a way to locate and reconnect with her.
The actress noted that she did not initially aim for fame or a career in entertainment, but was instead driven by the hope of being found one day.
Reflecting on that painful period, she admitted she once felt her life had no direction and believed she might never achieve anything meaningful. However, she expressed gratitude that her story eventually took a different turn.
In her words, “I wear so many caps… I actually started acting so that when my children grow up, they would be able to at least know where to find me.
I never thought of being a star… I am one woman that children were taken from her when they were very young because I married into a very wealthy family.”
She further described her journey as one filled with emotional struggles but also eventual healing and success, saying she is thankful for how her life has unfolded despite the early setbacks.
The revelation comes months after Bukky Wright also spoke about her personal life in an interview with BBC Yoruba, where she expressed her openness to remarrying.
She reflected on past marriages, her time abroad, and her return to acting, stating that she still desires companionship and hopes for another chance at marriage in the future…….See More
