Habiba Sinare reveals what led to her divorce with footballer

Actress and philanthropist, Habiba Sinare who was previously married to Black Stars striker, Majeed Waris has revealed the challenges of her marriage which led to their divorce.

Speaking in a recent interview, Habiba opened up about the challenges she had in her marriage, indicating that it was not at all the picture-perfect existence one imagines when one marries an athlete.

She pointed out that although getting married to a football player may look wonderful on the outside, the truth is its often difficult.

The actress disclosed that one of the major reasons why their marriage ended was because of her ex-husband’s deep devotion to his family which caused a lack of intimacy and attention they shared.

“When we are outside, he still calls and talks to them and everything…I just didn’t understand the fact that we can’t share something intimate together, you always have to get your parents involved and me being the woman I don’t get my family involved,” she told Mz Gee in the recent episode of ‘Just Us’.

Reflecting on the situation, Habiba expressed that she didn’t involve her own family in their marital issues until much later, as she preferred to keep things to herself.

“I am naturally that type of person, I like to keep to myself… even my mum didn’t know what I was going through until we had a sitting,” she revealed.

According to her distressed about the situation, she decided to walk out of her marriage as she deeply troubled as a wife.

“…When I was leaving, he said he wouldn’t choose me over his family. That hurt me deeply. That sentence still echoes in my life. When he said that, I thought, ‘Wow, I am not family after all.’ When you are angry, you say things that go too far. Sometimes, you don’t mean them but words are powerful. I’m someone who takes words seriously,” she added.

She further provided insights into the difficulties of marrying a football player and advised ladies to be ready for the realities that accompany such marriages.

“Getting married to a soccer player is not easy. No time, there’s nothing…either you make yourself happy by travelling or coming back to Ghana to enjoy yourself,” Habiba shared, emphasizing how the lifestyle demands great independence and emotional strength.

Waris and Habiba Sinare tied the knot in 2017 but separated sixteen months after.
