Toyin Abraham (Nigerian Actress)

Nollywood actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham recently opened up about how her husband, Kolawole Ajeyemi, helped her quit smoking, calling him one of her life's greatest blessings.

Appearing on The Morayo Show, Abraham shared that after she became pregnant, Ajeyemi issued a strict ultimatum, making it clear that smoking cigarettes around their child was completely unacceptable.

“Kolawole Ajeyemi is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. He lets me be me. I used to smoke cigarettes. I still smoke vape once in a while. But I stopped smoking cigarettes,” she said.

Abraham noted that the turning point began when her husband initially asked her to quit while she was pregnant. Later, after their son's birth, he spotted her smoking during an outing but chose to handle the situation calmly, waiting until they got home to confront the issue.

“He told me that he did not say I should not smoke cigarettes, but he must not see the butt with his child. He warned that anytime he sees such, that would be the end of the marriage,” she recalled.

The award-winning actress explained that his warning completely shifted her perspective, ultimately inspiring her to ditch cigarettes for good. However, she candidly admitted that she still vapes from time to time.

Married since 2019, Toyin also brushed off claims that her husband is uncomfortable with her career choices, making it clear that he is perfectly fine with her playing romantic roles on screen.

“About kissing in movies, my husband is mature. He is not a boy. He is a man. Most of my colleagues’ wives are comfortable with me. I can do every other thing. But promiscuity is not one of them.

“God has blessed me with a platform now; I do not have to kiss anybody like years past,” she added.
