Veteran Nollywood actor Patrick Doyle has praised his ex-wife Ireti Doyle, calling her a “first-class mother.”
In a recent interview with Olumide Iyanda, publisher of QEDNG, Patrick expressed that he holds no resentment towards Ireti following their divorce.
The 63-year-old actor also addressed a 2018 Facebook post, which some interpreted as an apology to Ireti.
He stated, “Ireti is a first class mother and provider for her children. She is taking good care of my daughter. How can I wish her ill? As far as mothers go, they don’t come any better. She provides 360 mothering care.”.
Patrick explained that his intention was to address any tensions that might have been present and to foster stability at home, acknowledging the responsibility of maintaining harmony.
“As a man, it is my duty to say you don’t look happy. Responsibility for the stability of the home is that of the head of the home. So that was a bid to ease whatever the tensions were at the time,” he said further.
Patrick and Ireti, who is 57, married in 2004, and their divorce was confirmed by the actress in 2023. They have five children together.
