If you ask Jide Kosoko what his sole regret in life is, he will tell you that being a polygamist is his one regret. However, few people are aware of how the actor became the spouse of numerous wives.
During an interview with Saturday Beats, the actor revealed that he became a polygamist due to forces beyond his control.
“If I have to be honest, I regret being a polygamist,” he remarked. I have to admit something. I didn’t plan it, and it was planned beyond my control because I had no intention of marrying so many wives. I originally married one woman, but she was unrelated to the work I was doing at the time, and you needed a highly reliable assistant back then. As a result, I decided to marry the second wife. I stayed with them until I lost both of them in the same circumstance — childbirth – eleven months apart.”

“A doctor of mine warned against it,” Kosoko stated, adding that he would not have married again. He claimed that I was still young and needed to marry. I took a critical look at the issue and realized that many of my friends were showing up at my apartment with their women, and I saw myself as being reckless, and my place was a free house. Even though some of my friends were married, they continued to bring their girlfriends to my house. I believed that if I had a wife, none of this would happen, therefore I attempted to find another wife. I was romancing two women with the intention of marrying one of them. However, the two did finally enter. That’s how I ended up as a polygamist.”
When asked if he would consider giving marriage another chance, Kosoko responded that doing so would be insane.
“It would be insane for me to consider having a new wife at this age, when I am 68.” I have over 12 children to look after, and some of them have grown up and are now looking after me as well. “My wife died, leaving me with two teenagers to look after,” he explained.
