There is just one circumstance in which renowned Yoruba cinema star Yetunde Wunmi would contemplate accepting a romantic partner, according to her candid words regarding relationship at this point in her life.
The actress revealed personal details about her life, her children’s strong opinions, and what she now looks for in a potential companion in an open conversation that was posted on the Talk2dunnis TV YouTube channel.
Known for her decades-long contributions to the Yoruba movie industry, Yetunde Wunmi has captivated audiences with her dynamic roles and emotional performances. But beyond the cameras and scripts, she now finds herself in a new phase of life—one where peace, fulfillment, and financial security have become her top priorities.
During the interview, when asked whether she still harbored any interest in entering a new romantic relationship, the actress responded with a mixture of humor and sincerity. She stated that, while she is not entirely closed off to the idea of companionship, she has no desire to settle for anything less than what she believes she now deserves.
According to her, any man who hopes to become romantically involved with her must be financially well-established. She emphasized that she is no longer at a stage where she is willing to endure the struggles and sacrifices that come with building from the ground up in a relationship. Instead, she wants to enjoy the fruits of her labor and live the rest of her life in comfort and joy.
“At this point in my life, I want ease. I want peace. I want luxury and enjoyment,” Wunmi explained. “If any man thinks he can come into my life now, he has to come prepared—with money. I’ve worked too hard, and I don’t want stress anymore. I want to be treated well and live well.”
However, her desires are not hers alone to consider. She also revealed that her children play a significant role in her personal decisions, particularly when it comes to dating. Wunmi laughed as she described how her children are fiercely protective of her and would likely object to her introducing a romantic partner into their lives.
She added: “My children will chase away any man from me now because they won’t accommodate any man in my life at the moment.”
