After several years, Ghanaian actor and fashion designer, Elikem Kumordzie has opened up about his divorce with ex-wife Pokello Nare.
According to him, immaturity on his path was the main reason the marriage to the Zimbabwean collapsed after two years.
In 2013, the two met and fell in love on season 8 of Big Brother Africa.
Elikem later proposed marriage to Pokello live on the stage of the 2014 Ghana Music Awards.
The actor told KOD in an interview on Instagram that at the time of the marriage, he was too young to understand the concept of marriage and sacrifice.
Elikem Kumordzie believes Pokello Nare who was 29 years by then was older than him and might have had more experience as compared to him at the age of 26.
“At the time of marriage, I was 26 – 27 and had not understood the concept of marriage because I was young but she might have more experience because she was 29 by then”, he said.
He also blamed the collapse of the marriage on long distance.
“I don’t remember too well why we fell off but I think it has to do with long distance. There was this long period of time where things just went off. She has to be there [Zimbabwe] and I have to be here [Ghana ] and we just fell off”, he added.
Elikem Kumordzie and Pokello Nare have a child in their two-year marriage.
