Veteran TV presenter Frank Edoho has opened up about the challenges he faced in his first marriage, which not only tested his personal life but also came close to affecting his professional career as the host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

In a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, Edoho reflected on his first marriage to Katherine Obiang, which lasted seven years, describing it as a "mismatch" and acknowledging that both he and his ex-wife were not prepared for the realities of marriage.

He explained, “My ex-wife was my friend, and there were children involved. I think ours was a mismatch; I was young. When she got pregnant, I had cold feet, but I still got married. It lasted seven years, and in 2010, I left. Three years later, I remarried.Being friends with the opposite sex doesn’t mean you should get married because that’s a different ball game. In hindsight, maybe I should have thought about it a bit more."

He emphasised that their decision to marry was influenced by love and friendship, but the relationship lacked the deeper evaluation needed for a lasting union.
