Talking bout her separation, she said:
"I started acting in 1993 after I got separated from my husband; he's late now. I was a full time housewife. I believed so much in myself, and when I got over the shock of the separation and all that, I made up my mind that I was going to make a statement without a man. I wanted to prove that a hard working woman could make an impact and with God's grace, I have come a long way.
Talking about how she handled separation from her ex husband, she said:
"The truth is that when you are focused and you know where you are going to, you are likely to succeed. I made up my mind then that I wasn't going to remarry. I was determined to make it and make all men including my late husband know that with God by her side, a woman can make it in life without a man's support."
On how her separation hurts her:
"Yes. During our years of courtship and marriage, I never suspected that we would just break up like that or anything could ever come between us. Back then, he told me everything. I could tell you where he was at every moment; I trusted him so much.
Revealing more on when she finally met her husband's mistress, she said:
"It was later, much later and when I did I was like 'did he leave me because of this thing?' I don't know how to put it but men don't really appreciate what they have until they lose it.
Advising women in similar situations, she said:
"Just believe in yourself and with hard work, you will get there. God is always faithful. I killed my emotions and I said to myself 'Rachael, your kids must go to the best schools.' It was just work and my children.
