Bukky Wright Eyes Remarriage at 58: A Nollywood Star’s Hope

Bukky Wright’s Bold Leap Toward Love Again at 58

In a heartfelt revelation, Nollywood icon Bukky Wright, 58, has stirred the hearts of fans with her candid desire to walk down the aisle again. Speaking in a recent interview with BBC Yoruba, the veteran actress, known for her commanding roles in classics like Saworoide, expressed a resilient hope for love, guided by her deep faith. “I went to Mecca this year to beg God for the right man,” she shared, her voice brimming with quiet determination. “If God permits it, I’ll love to get married again.”

Wright’s journey is one of courage. Having faced the sting of divorce, most recently from Adewale Onitiri, and battled loneliness while raising her sons abroad, she remains undaunted. Her pilgrimage to the Kaaba in Mecca wasn’t just a spiritual reset; it was a bold prayer for a new chapter. “I told God I’m open to love, but His will comes first,” she said, striking a chord with many who admire her vulnerability.

Beyond her personal aspirations, Wright didn’t shy from weighing in on societal shifts. She lamented the growing trend of revealing dressing among women in Nigeria, not limited to Nollywood. “It’s not just actresses; many women are exposing themselves now,” she observed, urging a return to dignity. Her words carry the weight of experience, blending maternal wisdom with a star’s poise.

Wright’s return to Nigeria marks a triumphant reclaiming of her Nollywood roots. After years in the U.S., where she pursued education and nurtured her now-independent sons, she’s teasing new projects that promise to reignite screens. Fans are buzzing, eager for Bukky’s comeback, both in film and in love.

Her story resonates because it’s raw and relatable. At 58, Wright isn’t chasing fairy tales but trusting in life’s possibilities. Whether love finds her remains unwritten, but her openness captivates, proving that hope, like her talent, never fades. As she prepares for her next act, Nollywood watches, and so do we.
