Timaya opens up on his reasons for not getting married
Nigerian singer Timaya has shared his reasons for avoiding marriage, explaining that he finds it harder to get out of a marriage than a relationship.
In a recent interview on NAIJA FM, the singer opened up about his reluctance toward the institution of marriage and his approach to fatherhood with his four children.
When discussing marriage, Timaya revealed, “I’ve never been a marriage guy right from time, but it can change. Marriage dey crase? I just look at it like, if I marry today, would I be able to get out? In all my previous relationships, I was the one who got out because I don’t like stress.”
"I have four kids. Being a father is enjoyable."

The ‘Dem Mama‘ singer emphasized the importance of open communication in relationships, saying, “If you have a problem with me, let’s talk about it because I don’t like going to bed thinking about things. I go die o. I don’t like anything to bother me at all.”
On fatherhood, Timaya shared that his four children live with their mothers, but they maintain a strong bond. “Being a father is stressful because I love them too much, but it’s enjoyable,” he explained. “My kids live with their mothers, so when I want to see them, I ask their mothers, and they come to my house.
We spend two to three months together, then they go back. Christmas is coming, and they’ll spend it with me, but their mothers don’t come because theyβre in relationships. We’re all family now, so I canβt date any of them. We’re family now, and we respect each other.”
