Yinka Quadri Says Wife Knew of His Relationships

Yinka Quadri said his wife, Sadiat, knew about his relationships with actresses and sometimes welcomed and fed them at their home after late film productions. His account came in an interview with African A List, excerpts of which were published this week. Quadri said some actresses he was dating would become friends with his wife and tell her he was seeing other women. He said his wife did not confront them, sometimes responding that she already knew about the relationships. Quadri attributed some of the gossip to jealousy among the women. He also said actresses occasionally stayed overnight at the couple’s home when filming ran late. According to Quadri, Sadiat prepared food and looked after them despite knowing about his relationships with them. He did not identify the actresses. The actor described the incidents while discussing his marriage and relationships within the film industry. The reports of his comments draw on the same interview, so the claims about his wife’s knowledge and actions remain Quadri’s account. No direct confirmation from Sadiat about these specific incidents was included. Quadri and Sadiat met in 1985 and married in 1989, according to the reports.
