She recounted that she once met someone she believed could be her lifelong companion, but he passed away, and since then, she has not met anyone else who fits that role.

Akintola, whose mother hails from Edo State and father from Oyo State, described marriage as a sacred union that should take place in the house of God, surrounded by loved ones.

The actress added that she is open to marriage at any stage in life, even at 78, if she meets the right person.

“I don’t have children, unfortunately. Marraige is important. Marriage is simple. It’s something that you do in the house of God. You go to church, call everyone that love you and say those vows that you will cherish and do the the rest of your life with.

“I haven’t found the person I would do the rest of my life with. I did found. But he died. And I haven’t found since then. And I can’t lie, I don’t know how to live a lie. I want everything to be in truthfulness. I want to be true to myself and God. I don’t think I would want to marry anyone that I won’t be able to stay with them forever

“If I think I can, if I believe I can, I would do it, even if I’m 78. Why not? Marraige is important. It doesn’t make you, women, it’s not the end and be all of your life. But it’s also an important thing to do especially as you get older. And everyone is going their way, children have grown they are going their way. There’s something called loneliness, so you need a companion for the later years.”
