Nollywood actor, Timini Egbuson, has spoken candidly about his love life and how his understanding of relationships has changed with age and experience.

The 38-year-old actor made the revelation during an interview with Jay On-Air TV, where he reflected on past relationships and the lessons he has learned over the years. 

According to Timini, he once believed that financial stability was the most important factor in sustaining a romantic relationship, a mindset he admits was shaped by his younger years.

However, the actor noted that maturity has significantly altered his perspective, helping him realise that money alone cannot sustain a meaningful relationship. 

While he still acknowledges the importance of financial responsibility, Timini stressed that it should not be the only value a person brings into a partnership.

“I still think money is important, but what I realise now is that money is just one out of many things that matter,” he said.

Timini explained that genuine connection in relationships goes far beyond material possessions, adding that personality, character, emotional intelligence and shared values play a more critical role in building lasting bonds.

“If all you can bring to a relationship is money, then you’re a very shallow man,” the actor stated.

The movie star noted that his evolving mindset is a result of personal growth and real-life experiences, saying he has come to appreciate the importance of emotional depth and mutual respect in relationships.

 He added that many people often confuse financial provision with love, forgetting that companionship, support and understanding are equally essential.

Timini’s comments come amid ongoing conversations about modern relationships and the pressures placed on men to be financial providers. The actor suggested that such expectations can sometimes overshadow other important aspects of human connection, leading to shallow relationships that lack emotional fulfilment.

He further encouraged young people to focus on self-development rather than placing excessive emphasis on wealth as a measure of worth in relationships.

 According to him, building strong personal values and emotional awareness is key to attracting and sustaining healthy partnerships.

Over the years, Timini has been open about his personal life, occasionally addressing rumours and speculations surrounding his relationships within the entertainment industry. His latest remarks have sparked conversations online, with many fans applauding his honesty and growth.

Several social media users praised the actor for promoting a balanced view of relationships, noting that financial stability should complement, not replace, other important qualities such as loyalty, kindness and communication.

Timini Egbuson remains one of Nollywood’s most sought-after actors, known for his roles in several blockbuster films and television series. 

Beyond his on-screen success, the actor has continued to use interviews and public platforms to share personal insights, particularly on issues affecting relationships, mental growth and self-awareness.

His latest remarks add to the growing discourse on redefining relationship values in today’s society, especially among young adults navigating love, career ambitions and personal growth in an increasingly material-driven world.
