Actress and filmmaker Adunni Ade has shared a personal truth about love and relationships, emphasizing that physical beauty is not enough to sustain a meaningful connection or secure a lasting marriage,
According to Vanguard News , she recalled being the centre of attention, admired for her looks and charm. “I used to be the most admired and talked about. Beauty opened many doors. I was loved and desired,” she said. “But I’m still not married.”
Adunni clarified that her single status has nothing to do with her worth. Instead, she believes many were drawn to her appearance rather than her substance. “Some came for the face, not the soul. Some wanted the shine, not the depth,” she explained. “I had to learn that beauty alone is not enough.”
She urged women to prioritize personal growth, self-worth, and inner strength. “Build your mind, know your value, and be whole on your own. Marriage will come at the right time, but don’t think beauty is all it takes,” she advised.
Her message: while beauty might attract attention, it’s character and self-development that truly endure. “Looks fade,” she said. “But who you are on the inside is what truly lasts.”
