Quadri made the revelation during an interview with the African A-List podcast, where he spoke about his marriage and his experiences in the Yoruba movie industry.

HE SAYS HIS WIFE KNEW ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIPS  

According to Quadri, some of the actresses he was romantically involved with eventually became friendly with his wife, Sadiat Adenike Quadri. He explained that some female colleagues would approach his wife to discuss his relationships with other actresses, sometimes without realising that she already knew about the situation. The actor said his wife generally avoided confrontations with the women and sometimes surprised them by revealing that she was already aware of the relationships.  

ACTRESSES STAYED OVER AFTER FILM PRODUCTIONS 

 Quadri also disclosed that some actresses occasionally spent the night at his home when film productions ended late. He said his wife knew about his relationships with the women but still welcomed them, provided food and attended to their needs. The revelation has drawn attention because it describes a domestic arrangement that many people may view differently in light of their own expectations about marriage, commitment and fidelity. 

 A MARRIAGE THAT HAS LASTED DECADES 

 Quadri married Sadiat in 1989 after they met in 1985. Their marriage has produced children and grandchildren. During the interview, the actor acknowledged his wife’s support and sacrifices throughout their years together, while reflecting on aspects of his personal life and career. 

 PUBLIC REACTIONS 

 The comments have generated discussions on social media, with reactions reflecting differing views about the boundaries of marriage, the treatment of spouses and how couples handle relationship challenges. While some have focused on the wife’s reported patience and hospitality, others have questioned the actor’s account of his relationships outside marriage. Quadri’s remarks, as reported from the interview, describe his personal experience. His wife’s perspective has not been independently established in the reports reviewed.
