In a recent interview with BBC Yoruba, the 58-year-old actress, whose full name is Oluwabukola Sekinat Ajoke Wright, shared her heartfelt thoughts on marriage and companionship.

While many expected her to dismiss the idea due to her age or past experiences, Wright was candid about her hopes for the future.

“On the issue of marriage, I wish to be married again if God destined it, but it’s not a must,” she said in Yoruba, during the emotional conversation.

The respected actress added that she took her desire to a sacred level during a spiritual pilgrimage.

“In fact, when I went to Al Kaaba I prayed to God about it, and I know He is a God that answers prayers,” she said.

Her remarks have stirred positive reactions among fans and fellow Nollywood stars.

Many have praised her openness and courage to speak about matters of the heart, even in a society where mature women are often discouraged from such aspirations.

Bukky Wright, a single mother of two, rose to prominence in 1999 after her memorable performance in Tunde Kelani’s iconic film Saworoide.

Since then, she has remained a strong and influential presence in Nigerian cinema, taking on a wide range of roles that have made her a household name.

In addition to her acting career, Wright is also an entrepreneur. She runs a fashion business named B Collections, as well as a beauty spa, B Wright.

Her ventures have thrived over the years, adding to her reputation as a multi-talented figure.

Fans recall that in 2014, she ventured into politics.

She contested for a seat in the Ogun State House of Assembly under the platform of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), a move supported by former Governor Olusegun Osoba.

Bukky Wright’s reflections on marriage have reignited interest in her private life.

Her expression of hope rather than desperation struck a chord with many women, especially those who may feel their chances for love have passed.

One fan posted online, “She is beautiful, wise, and still full of life. Her wish is inspiring. It reminds us that it’s never too late for love.”

Another wrote, “There is strength in speaking your truth. Bukky Wright has shown us that desiring love is natural, regardless of age or past.”

Though she has kept her romantic life mostly private in recent years, Wright’s openness now offers a glimpse into her inner world.

Her message was clear—love is welcome, but it must be right and divinely guided.

“I’m not chasing it, but if it comes and it is destined, I will welcome it with gratitude,” she added during the interview.

This refreshing perspective from one of Nollywood’s most respected actresses underscores the importance of faith, self-respect, and optimism.
