One of Nollywood’s Old hands, Actor Segun Arinze might have had a drama free acting career, his family life on the other hand has been sprinkled with some controversies.
Segun Arinze has 6 children from 3 different women and has also been married twice now.
Segun Arinze And His First Wife Ann Njemanze
He got married to Ann Njemazne back in 2008. She was an actor just like him but unfortunately their Union did not last for long. Their marriage only lasted for a short while because soon after, the actor known for his bulging eyes divorced his ex wife.
The reason for their divorce was never known to the public as they also kept details of their marriage private to them.

He states that before getting married to his first wife, Ann, he already had a son. Then, he has just a daughter from his first wife and 3 beautiful children from his current wife.
Then he also mentions an extra child and he did reveal details of the mother of the child. We want to believe it was probably a fling and a baby mama situation since he did not get married to the person or ever publicly acknowledged the person.
This is what he had to say in the interview,
“I’m married to a lovely woman called Julie. I have children too.
Em…from my wife (Julie), I have Ayo, Femi and my new baby daughter, Victoria Ejiamatu. And, of course, before then, you know I had a son and then we had Morenike between Ann and me. I also have Ebunoluwa,”.
During an interview with the Punch Newspaper back in 2017, he was asked about his personal experience as a father and this is what he had to say

“Does anything really prepare one for fatherhood? It is a responsibility that just comes on one – it is mounted on a man when his wife becomes pregnant. One no longer has the freedom to behave as one wishes. As a man, you begin to prepare your mind towards the fact that you are bringing another life into this world, hence you need to be responsible and be a role model to your child. There is no school that prepares one for fatherhood. It is a role one learns overtime through personal experiences and teachings from one’s parents.“
