Yinka Quadri Says His Wife Welcomed Actresses He Dated into Their Home

By RockWater Media· October 25, 2026· 👁 16

Yinka Quadri, a veteran Nigerian actor, has spoken openly about romantic relationships with fellow actresses that took place during his marriage. He said his wife knew about the relationships and would often host the women after late-night film shoots, feeding and attending to them while they stayed at the family home.

Quadri described several episodes in which cast members who finished production late would remain at his house for the night. "Sometimes, when production ended late, they would sleep in my house," he said, adding that his wife provided meals and other care despite being aware that he was dating some of those actresses. The actor said that the arrangements sometimes led to an unusual dynamic, as some of the actresses became friends with his wife and even spoke to her about his other relationships.

The actor, popularly known by the nickname Masomo, declined to name the actresses he said he dated. He credited his wife, Sadiat Adenike, with patience and understanding that helped their marriage weather the pressures of a career in the entertainment industry. Quadri and Adenike have been married for more than three decades, and he noted that his wife's calm response—avoiding confrontation when the women visited—was a factor in keeping their family together.

Those details add context to a long-running conversation about the personal lives of public figures and the strains that film work can place on intimate relationships. Quadri's account emphasizes the practical side of on-set life: tight schedules, long nights and the occasional need for cast members to remain where they can rest between calls. He acknowledged the complexity of the situation, including moments when women he had dated would inform his wife about other relationships out of jealousy.

The disclosures have prompted public interest because they involve a prominent figure in Nigerian cinema and reflect private arrangements that few families discuss publicly. Quadri did not share further identifying details, and his wife has not issued a specific response to the recent recounting. The story underlines how professional demands and personal choices can overlap in entertainment, and why couples sometimes adopt unconventional arrangements to manage those pressures.
